More quotes by Barbara Walters
[President Obama] made so many promises. We thought that he was going to be -- I shouldn't say this at Christmastime -- but the next messiah.
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
A Hot Fudge Sundae and a trashy novel is my idea of heaven.
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
Most attractive males talk to most attractive women as if they were Rotarians comparing sales percentages in Des Moines.
Barbara Walters
Show me someone who never gossips, and I'll show you someone who isn't interested in people.
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
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
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
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
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
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
Après ski is my favorite sport.
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
Just do your job. Get in early. Stay late, and don’t complain. Fight the big fights.
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
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
No one could ad lib like Peter. You would think that it was all scripted, he was so poetic, but it wasn't.
Barbara Walters
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.
Barbara Walters
