Quote

I am the world's worst reporter. I am apt to try too hard to help rather than just document my subjects.

I think as an investigative reporter I had tough standards, but I don't think of myself as a tough person.

I would never have been a good reporter because I am not accurate regarding facts.

I was a bad journalist.

I'm a lousy journalist.

Bad stories are written about me because the press knows they can make me into a weeping dog and few people will object.

It turned out I really didn't like journalism. I wanted to make up stories, not cover real events.

I am not one of the great journalists of my time.

My job as a reporter is not to know what I think.
