Ted Turner

When I was a publisher of CNN, I took responsibility for the actions of the network.

I have both sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation, which are both debilitating conditions.

If I only had a little humility, I would be perfect.

Life is like a B-movie. You don't want to leave in the middle of it but you don't want to see it again.

When I was young and ocean-racing competitively, and working the rest of the time, I was going 24 hours. I was on the verge of collapsing. But you've got to slow down a bit.

Even if we didn't have greenhouse gases, were going to have to move away from fossil fuels, as we're going to run out. They're finite, whereas solar and wind are infinite.

I think George Bush is the most dangerous man in the world.

If the perpetrators of the World Trade Center plane crashes had a nuclear weapon, there's no doubt in my mind but that they would've detonated it in New York.

I'm a very good thinker, but I sometimes grab the wrong word. I say something I didn't think through adequately. I mean, I don't type my speeches, then sit up there and read them off the teleprompter, you know. I wing it.

Rupert Murdoch is the most dangerous man in the world.

I don't watch entertainment. I haven't watched in years. I want to see serious news.

The media is too concentrated, too few people own too much. There's really five companies that control 90 percent of what we read, see and hear. It's not healthy.

The mind is just another muscle.

The Iranians don't intimidate! They're like the Vietnamese and the Iraqis. You want to start a war with them? They'll still be fighting in fifty years!

The biggest thing I learned from losing? Winning's better.

War has been good to me from a financial standpoint but I don't want to make money that way. I don't want blood money.

I wanted to better inform the world.

I regret that I wasn't more successful with my marriages, but it is what it is.

I love CNN. I love the Cartoon Network. I mean, I thought these things up.

It was a struggle financing CNN, but I did it without ever asking the government for a nickel.
