Quote

I think people have to take responsibility for their own actions.

We have a responsibility to show the public the kinds of truths that they don't see on the TV news or the Hollywood film.

If you took away publicists and things and people spoke for themselves, then they'd have to be responsible for their words.

There is an art to writing, and it is not always disclosure. The act itself can be beautiful, revelatory, and private.

While people out there on the spot certainly have to be held accountable for what they've done personally, the chain of command responsibility for this strikes me as just as important and should be dealt with.

It's a responsibility of the writer to get the reader out of the story somehow.

We already know that anonymous letters are despicable. In etiquette, as well as in law, hiring a hit man to do the job does not relieve you of responsibility.

I always feel a responsibility to the people I write about. I feel obligated to portray them in the way they feel is proper.

A news organization has a much different responsibility. I might not be telling you the whole story. I might not be telling you a story in a manner that is properly sophisticated.

I always feel this huge responsibility to the script when it arrives, keeping it confidential.
