I speak five languages: English, Swedish, French, Italian, and German.

Fox News has a very-high-income audience, and I think that any business channel automatically draws that. We're not gonna reach for a lower financial demographic.

Giving up your core business in search of a phantom audience is not wise.

I don't remember threatening anybody, ever. I don't like threats. I don't respond well to them, so I don't give them. But I'm not a doormat. I try to meet the appropriate level of communications.

Do I take alternative points of view? Yes, because all the media are going in another direction.

Usually, there are three or four major news spikes per year.

I've been an underdog all my life.

I hired Sarah Palin because she was hot and got ratings.

Fox News Latino will show people how opportunities exist, that whenever we are overregulated, or there is too much government, we lose freedom. We lose power. That is, historically, one hundred percent true.

I grew up in the era when Dan Rather hated Richard Nixon. He was a newsman, but you knew what his opinion was.

There are always people that will rise to the occasion when there is no occasion, but it is hard to find people will do it when there is.

Personally, I'm right of center.

I've got a bad leg; I'm a little overweight, so I can't run fast, but I will fight.

I go to mass every Sunday, which is a shock to everybody.

We're not programming to conservatives. We're just not eliminating their point of view.

I was in the Oval Office when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon because I was called in to coordinate the coverage. I got to thinking, 'We have a feed from the moon. We've got a feed from the Earth. I can set up the first interplanetary shot in history.'

CNN and MSNBC, our primary competitors, are trying to figure out how to beat us. There are some good, smart people at those networks, and even occasionally a blind pig finds an acorn.

The reality is, to watch Jon Stewart, you already have to have watched the news. In other words, it's not funny if he does a joke about John McCain and they don't know who John McCain is.

I don't have any focus groups on talent and programming. If I need five people in a mall to be paid $40 to tell me how to do my job, I shouldn't do my job.

You never pull the trigger until you know you can win.

I never want to lose. I hate to lose... But Babe Ruth struck out 1,300 times. You can't hit the home run every time you come up to bat.

If you're making money, and you've hit your targets for five years, you don't need to demand a new contract.

I have a soft spot for Joe Biden. I like him. But he's dumb as an ashtray.

It would be a lie to say that I don't care what people say about me. Every human being cares unless they're nuts. Am I nuts? But you can't allow that to override your mission.
