More quotes by Barbara Walters
Homogeneity is much to be admired - in milk, for instance - but not for parties.
Barbara Walters
The news media in general are liberal. If you want to be a reporter, you are going to see poverty and misery, and you have to be involved in the human condition.
Barbara Walters
Just do your job. Get in early. Stay late, and don’t complain. Fight the big fights.

I first interviewed Fidel Castro 39 years ago. He was charming and fiercely guarded about his private life. He called our interviews 'fiery debates.' During our times together, he made clear to me that he was an absolute dictator and that he was a staunch opponent of democracy.
Barbara Walters
But for Muslims, everything that they don't have on earth is what they get in heaven. They can drink, they can have sex. All of the forbidden pleasures on earth, you can have in paradise.
Barbara Walters

Barbara Walters
To excel is to reach your own highest dream. But you must also help others, where and when you can, to reach theirs. Personal gain is empty if you do not feel you have positively touched another's life.
Barbara Walters
Success can make you go one of two ways. It can make you a prima donna - or it can smooth the edges, take away the insecurities, let the nice things come out.
Barbara Walters
If it's a woman, it's caustic if it's a man, it's authoritative.
Barbara Walters
To not sing with an orchestra, to not be able to communicate through my voice, which I've done all my life, and not to be able to phrase lyrics and give people that kind of joy, I think I would be totally devastated.
Barbara Walters
Most of us have trouble juggling. The woman who says she doesn't is someone whom I admire but have never met.
Barbara Walters
The feeling is that Fidel Castro's much bigger than he actually is.
Barbara Walters
I didn't have a very religious family.
Barbara Walters
Après ski is my favorite sport.
Barbara Walters
