Quotes

• “Since I was a little boy huddled up next to my grandmother, television has always been my reliable friend, so it is an enormous honor for me to host this year's Emmy Awards”
• “Throughout the roller-coaster of a year that we have all lived through, television has helped us stay connected as a society like never before. It not only entertained us, but as it always has, it helped to open our eyes, educate us, and hopefully brought about a better understanding of who we are as a people”

• “I do think it's important that as a community, as a city that we understand that this is about getting some answers and getting some healing, so we're not dealing with these issues every week”
• “I think the key thing is to not only be outraged, and have your emotions on a high level, you also have to really get involved with what can be done to change things”
• “Get in relationships with people who can actually cause some change,”
