Quote

Well I just always wanted to be a newspaper reporter.

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

I did not read newspapers until I became a reporter.

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

I went into journalism to do journalism, not advertising.

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

When I was 26 or 27, I gave up journalism. I came to England after my mom died, to let serendipity take its course. And I just found myself back in journalism again.

I didn't work for any newspapers in college, never worked for any newspaper before 'The Washington Post'.

I don't think I ever wanted to be a journalist - I was more interested in what comes from being a journalist.

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