Quotes by Bryant Gumbel
I’m still going to do television. I’m just not going to do morning television. I would like to do some things that satisfy interests, private interests.
I once read that the only way to enjoy life is to observe everything with a sense of detached amusement. I don’t always do that, but it serves you well to keep it in mind.
