I would imagine I would see someone, I'd imagine it'd be Peter, or I'd think I'm gonna turn around and he'd be there.

So,

you can tell it's still hard for me.

And although other people have helped me in my career and I've had other people who've been a really positive impact on me and generous with helping me, no one close since in terms of how much he helped me and what an aberration it was.

And I'll say, just because I'm telling you the whole story now, Peter was pretty tough on people.

He was pretty tough on colleagues and correspondents and he'd make people cry because he was so powerful and famous and demanding.

He was so nice to me.

And part of why I was resented by some of my colleagues was because

it was like you know why was peter so nice to me uh and uh you know it was just uh it's just a it was a unique relationship in my career and in my life and uh i i think all the time about what he would think about next stop and what he would think about two-way and um and what he would think about uh the fact that i'm you know i became a broadcaster i'm not as good at being a broadcaster as i am at about 20 other things maybe 50 other things but to the extent i'm a decent broadcaster it's because of peter

Sure.

It's Tokyo or London.

It's probably Tokyo, but if you said it was forever...

it'd probably be London just because my Japanese is not great.

And I find being in other countries where I can't speak the language, I can't watch TV, I can't eavesdrop, I can't, you know, ask anybody for anything, directions.

I can't order everything on the menu easily.

I just find that a little alienating.

So it'd be London.

But if it was for just over a few years, it'd be Tokyo.

I love Tokyo.

I love, love, love Tokyo.
