A man cannot be comfortable [or cannot be made comfortable] without his own approval.
Barbara Walters
Show me someone who never gossips, and I'll show you someone who isn't interested in people.

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.

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
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
When you're interviewing someone, you're in control. When you're being interviewed, you think you're in control, but you're not.
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
Children are God's way of punishing us for having sex.
Barbara Walters
Après ski is my favorite sport.
Barbara Walters
The aging process seems to strike first at the mechanism which warns that we have been talking too much and the listener is growing restless. The signal isn't perfect at any age - drink, for instance, throws it right out of kilter - but it is almost non-existent in old people.
Barbara Walters
I didn't get ahead by sleeping with people. Girls, take heart!
Barbara Walters
