Quote

All the legal action I've taken against newspapers has had a massively positive effect on my life and achieved exactly what I wanted, which is privacy and non-harassment.

Every day I tell myself that reading newspapers is a waste of time, but then... I cannot do without them. They are like a drug.

I have been a journalist, off and on, since I was 17. I was a copy boy for the 'New York Times,' when it had an edition in Paris, in 1963. I sold the paper in the streets by day and tore wire copy off the tele-printer for the editors making up the edition by night.

I've never wanted to do anything but be a newspaperman ever since I was 13.

I've operated and launched newspapers all over the world.

I went into journalism to do journalism, not advertising.

I became a journalist partly so that I wouldn't ever have to rely on the press for my information.

I've been a financial journalist for 30 years.
