Although I myself don't go to church or synagogue, I do, whether it's superstition or whatever, pray every time I get on a plane. I just automatically do it. I say the same thing every time.

More quotes by Barbara Walters
A conversation isn't a competition.
Barbara Walters
The origin of a modern party is anthropological: humans meet and share food to lower hostility between them and indicate friendship.
Barbara Walters
A woman can do anything. She can be traditionally feminine and that's all right she can work, she can stay at home she can be aggressive she can be passive she can be any way she wants with a man. But whenever there are the kinds of choices there are today, unless you have some solid base, life can be frightening.
Barbara Walters
New York is a galaxy of adventure at once elegant, exciting and bizarre. It's a city that moves so fast, it takes energy just to stand still.
Barbara Walters
I didn't get ahead by sleeping with people. Girls, take heart!
Barbara Walters
Don't let the bastards get you down.
Barbara Walters
Most old people ... are disheartened to be living in the ailing house of their bodies, to be limited physically and economically, to feel an encumbrance to others - guests who didn't have the good manners to leave when the party was over.
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
Don't worry about finding your bliss right now. Not even our President knew what his bliss was, nor did I. One of these days to your own surprise, your bliss will find you. But no matter what you do, participate, be there, full force, full heart, full steam ahead.
Barbara Walters
Homogeneity is much to be admired - in milk, for instance - but not for parties.
Barbara Walters
I was the kind nobody thought could make it. I had a funny Boston accent. I couldn't pronounce my R's. I wasn't a beauty.
Barbara Walters
For Castro, freedom starts with education. And if literacy alone were the yardstick, Cuba would rank as one of the freest nations on Earth.
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
Because there are so many shows on and because I've been so hands-on - I've had a piece on almost every single week - I don't know how to cut back on that. You really can't.
Barbara Walters
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
This is what I tell, especially young women, fight the big fights. Don't fight the little fight... Be the first one in, be the last one out. Do your homework, choose your battles. Don't whine, and don't be the one who complains about everything. Fight the big fight.
Barbara Walters
I found it interesting that as people become more technically oriented all over the world, at the same time people are becoming increasingly spiritual. The success of the Da Vinci code - even though it was a great yawn - also showed people's interest in religion.
Barbara Walters
The feeling is that Fidel Castro's much bigger than he actually is.
Barbara Walters
Après ski is my favorite sport.
Barbara Walters
Show me someone who never gossips, and I'll show you someone who isn't interested in people.
