More quotes by 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
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
[On being indecisive and changeable:] On my gravestone I want inscribed: 'On the other hand, maybe I should have lived.
Barbara Walters
If it's a woman, it's caustic if it's a man, it's authoritative.
Barbara Walters
Homogeneity is much to be admired - in milk, for instance - but not for parties.
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
I can get a better grasp of what is going on in the world from one good Washington dinner party than from all the background information NBC piles on my desk.
