Larry King's Quotes
- I never think of access or good will. I just want a good interview. I want guests to be informative and entertaining. I've never been concerned about someone's liking me tomorrow.
- I'm from Brooklyn. In Brooklyn, if you say, 'I'm dangerous', you'd better be dangerous.
- If at first you don't succeed, punt.
- I thought I was just going to bite the bullet. I didn't want to live this way. I didn't want to live dependent on others. I've had a full career. There is nothing I could add to it except just to do more. And I thought ... I don't know how to commit suicide. How do you commit suicide?
