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
I didn't get ahead by sleeping with people. Girls, take heart!
Barbara Walters

Barbara Walters
To feel valued, to know, even if only once in a while, that you can do a job well is an absolutely marvelous feeling.
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.

Children are God's way of punishing us for having sex.
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
If it's a woman it's caustic, if it's a man it's authority, If it's a woman it's too pushy, if it's a man it's aggressive in the best sense of the word.
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
If it's a woman, it's caustic if it's a man, it's authoritative.
Barbara Walters
People sinking into self-pity and depression are dreary, but they can't get out of it by themselves. So every now and then, just sit there and listen, and listen, and listen. You're paying your membership dues in the human race.
Barbara Walters
Après ski is my favorite sport.
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
A Hot Fudge Sundae and a trashy novel is my idea of heaven.
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
