Whatever you want in life, other people are going to want it too. Believe in yourself enough to accept the idea that you have an equal right to it.
From Diane Sawyer
An investigation may take six months. A quick interview, profile, a day.
If you're curious, you'll probably be a good journalist because we follow our curiosity like cats.
I've always found a cure for the blues is wandering into something unknown, and resting there, before coming back to whatever weight you were carrying.
Follow what you are genuinely passionate about and let that guide you to your destination.
The interesting thing is always to see if you can find a fact that will change your mind about something, to test and see if you can.
Sometimes I forget some of the things I've done. I recently recalled that after Watergate I went away by myself to Tahiti for a month, moving from island to island. That was a point in my life where I didn't know what was next.
The one lesson I have learned is that there is no substitute for paying attention.
I've always been curious. I keep a list of people I'd love to have lunch with, like the Pope or Leonard Cohen. I'll read an article about someone I've never met and think, 'I should ask him to lunch!'
I get to go to work and come home with something interesting or enriching or astonishing.
