Ted Turner

I think Captain Cousteau might be the father of the environmental movement.

Ted Turner

I travel a lot. I’m on the move.

Ted Turner

I wanted to better inform the world.

Ted Turner

I was cable when cable wasn’t cool.

Ted Turner

I was gonna go broke if I didn’t get things turned around real fast.

Ted Turner

I’m 68 and a half years old; I grew up with newspapers; I love newspapers; I love the news business. I started CNN; I’m a journalist and proud of it.

Ted Turner

I’m a human being, just like everybody else. I’m up some days and down others. Some days, I just refuse comment. If I’m feeling a little down, I won’t say anything. But if I’m really up, I’ll let it all hang out. I do have a slight propensity to put my foot in my mouth.

Ted Turner

I’m a millionaire, I guess, but I’m just a normal person and I like everybody, taxi drivers, whoever you are, to call me by my first name and talk to me on a man-to-man basis. I think the garbage collector is as important as the goddamned president.

Ted Turner

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.

Ted Turner

I’m hard of hearing. I miss a lot. It’s really tough.
