I still think boxing is where I had the most natural ability. But other fighters were working at it full time and I wasn’t.
O Magazine interview
Amanpour discusses covering the Bosnian War in an interview for O Magazine.
I consider Bosnia the most important work I’ve ever done. All during the war, CNN was there every day, and we weren’t only covering car and suicide bombs; we did human interest stories. That made a difference. I’m absolutely convinced that had we not been there—not just CNN but every news organization there—perhaps the West might not have intervened.

Alyssa Milano interview
Milano talks on The Tony Danza Show, about how their show Who’s the Boss? broke a lot of new grounds, at the time it was first released.
In watching all these clips it make me realize we crossed a lot of lines that weren’t crossed in that time in television
Karrine Steffans interview
Williams interviews Karrine Steffans during an episode of The Wendy Williams Experience. Williams questions Steffans on latest book The Vixen Diaries, multiple abortions and breast implants.
Yes I have breast implants. Um this is my first set. I paid for them myself eventually. I’m going to get a second set. I got these when my son was born. So you have to replace them every seven to ten years, so I’m getting a new set soon. I have been told not to go up in size. But I’m inclined to go up just a little.
Pro Wrestling Radio interview
Awesome talks about his match against Tanaka at WWE’s ECW One Night Stand:
I thought the show was great you know, the entire thing, just the way it all came together, um the way it was put together. Maybe it had a little too much of the WWE influence with the angles that they were doing but overall I thought the show was great and I was very happy with my match. You know usually when I get out there with Tanaka him and I we just beat the hell out of each other and tear the house down.
Palo Alto interview
Zuckerberg is interviewed at the Facebook offices in Palo Alto.
The goal that we went into it with wasn’t to make an online community, but to make a mirror of the real community that existed in real life. So The Facebook for your school isn’t somewhere where people actually go to meet, but where you go to see who knows each other. Like an icebreaker. You can find out something about people, and see who you want to meet, and maybe you can message them and make a really informal way to start a dialogue.
On future growth:
There really doesn’t have to be much more. Like a lot of people are focussed on taking over the world, or doing the biggest thing, or getting the most users. Part of making a difference and doing something cool is focusing intensely.
O Magazine interview
Stewart speaks about his comedy taking on a more political tone in an interview with O Magazine.
It was a conscious decision to move to relevance—to make the show something people care about. I had done a talk show where it was, Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we’re doing three segments instead of two with Maria Conchita Alonso. Because it turns out the guy with the falcons is not going to come tonight. I thought, This can’t be how I live my life. So I decided not to give a crap about what anybody else thought anymore.
Pro Wrestling Radio interview
Sammartino talks about the back injuries he suffered during his career:
Yeah in my case no question because when one of the world renowned neurosurgeons, Doctor James Moroon who did the surgeries on me, he told me that he could see how hard I had trained and the kind of condition I was in but he also the tremendous kind of abuse that the back took and when he did the couple of surgeries he had to remove a total of sixteen spurs on my back and three vertebrae he had to remove and I still have a lot of problems that to this day.
Pro Wrestling Radio interview
Funk comments on his final run in WCW:
Not my confidence I just questioned my sanity. I also questioned their sanity at the time, you know? I just thought that I had a great deal to offer to them and whenever I got there it was evidently somebody up in the hierarchy that wanted me but the people immediately, my superiors weren’t sure whether they needed me or not. They certainly didn’t loosen the reigns and let me take off running. Well and I don’t blame them it’s their business. But I try not to, I try never to hurt a territory. You know I love coming into a territory and popping it.
Pro Wrestling Radio interview
Rhodes gives his thoughts on booking WCW:
Well it is, but people from the outside don’t really know what it is to coach a team. And that is really what you are doing. To have, to take this team and we are actually going to make a sitcom out of it, we’re going to make a movie out of it. And that is my job to, to do the movie, to cast the movie, to make the storylines, to write the music, and that’s the way I am. I put my fingers on everything, I let nobody touch that product, and that’s the hardest thing with people.
Jesse Jackson interview
Jackson is audio interviewed by Jesse Jackson. He talks about his roots in the industry during his time starting with Motown and who discovered him.
In complete truth it was Gladys Knight and a guy named Bobby Taylor…Berry Gordy wasn’t interested at first but eventually he loved us and wanted to sign us.
Pro Wrestling Radio interview
Valentine talks about being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame:
I definitely was flattered by it I did not expect it because I hardly have talked to the WWE at all since I left. I did not leave on bad terms or anything I just was out of a job (laughs). So I went other places and I managed to stay, you know I have never done, honestly, anything else in my life to subsidize, or add some income in, in my career, my thirty-five year career in wrestling. I have never done anything but wrestle. I never drove a cab on the side, I never shined shoes, I never sold cars (laughs), keeping afloat. I am not the wealthiest of all of the wrestlers, obviously Hulk has got lots and lots of money, and Flair does. I was fortunate to make a lot of money but I never got rich from it. I’m still involved in the wrestling business because I want to be, and not really because I have to be.
Annecy Film Festival interview

I came up with the idea for The Simpsons and drew them for the first time and one minute later David came on board and refined the characters and gave them their soul.
Alyssa Milano interview
Milano talks with Pat O`Brien on The Insider about her passion and efforts to help people of the Tsunami tragedy.
There’s no reason to be a celebrity if I can’t make positive changes in the world.
O Magazine interview
Penn speaks about his new film The Assassination of Richard Nixon in an interview for O Magazine.
It’s just good luck that the movie speaks to what’s current. In some respects, you could call it bad luck. I was working on this for several years before 9/11. At the time, I thought, “The guy who wrote this wants me to do it and he should have what he wants because he’s up to something important.” I came to regret it because it was the most miserable shoot ever. (Laughs) You saw the movie. There’s not a lot of time spent with dancing girls.
Plans to challenge Google
In an interview with The Guardian, Highfield says that the BBC has the potential to challenge Google.
We have got the best content in the world and a more flexible rights framework than anyone. We have the best brand, I would argue, online in the world in terms of trust and impartiality. We’ve also got access to some of the best technology in the world. If you glue all of that together we should be in a prime position to create the best next-generation search navigation tool in the world. We haven’t yet found out across all genres what new media can do. Where we have, like in education, the digital curriculum has become a great example of a product that owes very little to radio or television and is very much of the medium.
In response to the BBC governors’ response to Philip Graf’s review of BBC Online he has been required to cut funding by 10%, axing sites deemed not to pass the corporation’s new “public value” guidelines.
In order to free up the required funding we must start to behave more like television and radio, decommissioning sites or cutting back on funding, or even archiving them as circumstances change.
