Take your job seriously, but don't take yourself too seriously.
I'm curious about everything. Even subjects that don't interest me.
My life has been a quest for knowledge and understanding, and I am nowhere near having achieved that. And it doesn't bother me in the least. I will die without having come up with the answers to many things in life.
I think what makes 'Jeopardy!' special is that, among all the quiz and game shows out there, ours tends to encourage learning.
I want to thank myself. Forty-five years ago, I graduated from the University of Ottawa and had a few career opportunities available, but I chose television and I've never, ever regretted that decision.
