Larry King

“I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I'm going to learn, I must do it by listening.”

“The secret of success is an absolute ungovernable curiosity.”

“I never learned anything while I was talking.”

“Those who have succeeded at anything and don't mention luck are kidding themselves.”

“I'm a good listener. I think that's the key to being a good interviewer.”

“If you do something, you should do it with your whole heart.”

“I ask short questions. I have an attention span of a gnat.”

“I am not an intellectual. I am a reporter. I look for the facts. I ask questions. I listen to the answers.”

“You can't be a critic and a fan at the same time.”

“I would like to be remembered as someone who was curious and who cared.”

“I work every day. I've worked every day for 60 years.”

“My biggest fear is death, because I don't think I'm going to a better place.”

“I'm a minimalist. I don't really need much to enjoy a good holiday - just my family and the bare essentials.”

“The most important quality in an interviewer is curiosity.”

“The first rule of my speaking is: listen!”
