Quotes by Hugh Downs

• I have no ego investment in being on the air. I don't knock others for whom that kind of attention is like oxygen, but I don't miss anything about it.
• A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.
• I've always thought that the stereotype of the dirty old man is really the creation of a dirty young man who wants the field to himself.
