I've been invited to appear on Letterman, but they wanted me to talk about a funny videotape of Congress. 'Bring us your outtakes!' That's not our job.
From Brian Lamb
I vote in every general election, but I'm not a party member or an ideologue. I've never told anyone who I've voted for.
I've never been a member of a political party, but people will superimpose on you what they want.
We have more voices from more points of view on the C-SPAN call-in show than I've heard anywhere else. You can literally tune us in every day and hear it all. You can't control it, and you shouldn't control it.
Some people when they get older are so firm in their beliefs that you'll never move them.
I think technology has changed America, not any one organization. Technology is taking the power away from the few. There'll be a lot more choices, and good people who are doing serious stuff will survive and there'll be a lot more voices, and that is very healthy.
The greatest thing about the call-in show is that you always felt like you were on a high wire without a net.
If you get too excited about any one interview, you're making a mistake, because people do cancel.
You can't guarantee everything's going to be televised.
I think, in some ways, I like it when people tell me what they're thinking. I would rather have it that way than masquerade as if you're totally unbiased and objective.
