Quote

I got into journalism because I came of age in the '60s. It just seemed one way for me to get things done.

Journalism took me around the world. I worked in London for ten years and reported on the collapse of the Soviet Union, the troubles in Northern Ireland, and the first Gulf War.

I had discovered journalism to be my life's ambition.

I got into journalism not to be a journalist but to try to change American foreign policy. I'm a corny person. I was a dreamer predating my journalistic life, so I got into journalism as a means to try to change the world.

I always wanted to be some kind of writer or newspaper reporter. But after college... I did other things.

I used to be a journalist.

My father was a newspaper editor, so I was surrounded by journalists my entire life. I think the fact that he was so well known may be why I chose to go into magazines and move to the States at a young age.

For many years I was engaged in journalism, writing articles and chronicles for the daily press without ever joining the staff of any newspaper.

I pine for a return to the type of old-school journalism and the tough newspapermen and women of the Thirties.

There is no doubt that the way journalism worked when I was growing up and getting started has changed forever.
