Fred Rogers

Geburtstag: 20. März 1928
Todesdatum: 27. Februar 2003

Fred McFeely Rogers

war ein amerikanischer Fernsehmoderator, Musiker, Puppenspieler und Produzent. Bekannt wurde er vor allem als Hauptdarsteller und Autor der Kinderserie Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.

Am 1. Mai 1969 musste Fred Rogers vor dem Senat aussagen, um die Finanzierung seiner Serie zu sichern. Senator John O. Pastore wurde davon überzeugt, 20 Millionen US-Dollar für den Public Broadcasting Service und öffentliche Medien bereitzustellen, indem Rogers erzählte, was er mit der Serie erreichen wollte und ein Lied vortrug. Pastore, der die Sendung nie gesehen hatte, war von den Ausführungen so überwältigt, dass er nach eigenen Angaben Gänsehaut bekam. Die Rede von Fred Rogers gilt als einer der ikonischsten Momente in der Geschichte öffentlicher Medien.

Zitate Fred Rogers

„Sowohl Joanne als auch ich können uns oft erinnern, als wir wünschten, wir hätten etwas anderes gesagt oder getan. Aber wir haben es nicht getan und wir haben gelernt, uns nicht zu schuldig zu fühlen. Was mir meine guten Gefühle gibt, ist, dass wir uns immer darum gekümmert haben und immer versucht haben, unser Bestes zu geben.“

—  Fred Rogers

„Very frankly, I am opposed to people being programmed by others. My whole approach in broadcasting has always been 'You are an important person just the way you are. You can make healthy decisions.' Maybe I'm going on too long, but I just feel that anything that allows a person to be more active in the control of his or her life, in a healthy way, is important.“

„Well, what is essential about you? And who are those who have helped you become the person that you are? Anyone who has ever graduated from a college, anyone who has ever been able to sustain a good work, has had at least one person and often many who have believed in him or her. We just don't get to be competent human beings without a lot of different investments from others.“

„As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has—or ever will have—something inside that is unique to all time. It's our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression.“

Interviewed by Joan Rivers on The Tonight Show (1983) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=p-Kp5YeqrlE#t=263

„When I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.“

„What do you think it is that drives people to want far more than they could ever use or need? I frankly think it's insecurity. How do we let the world know that the trappings of this life are not the things that are ultimately important for being accepted?“

„If only you could sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.“

„Both Joanne and I can recall many times when we wish we'd said or done something different.  But we didn't, and we've learned not to feel too guilty about that.  What gives me my good feelings is that we always cared and always tried to do our best.“

Foreword of Many Ways to Say I Love You

„I believe that appreciation is a holy thing, that when we look for what's best in the person we happen to be with at the moment, we're doing what God does; so in appreciating our neighbor, we're participating in something truly sacred.“

„This is what I give. I give an expression of care every day to each child, to help him realize that he is unique. I end the program by saying, 'You've made this day a special day, by just your being you. There's no person in the whole world like you; and I like you just the way you are.' And I feel that if we in public television can only make it clear that feelings are mentionable and manageable, we will have done a great service for mental health.“
