One reason I left local news was that I was tired of the constant musical chairs among news directors.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We were the victims of the new producer but what annoyed me was they told the press we were leaving before us.
It turned out I really didn't like journalism. I wanted to make up stories, not cover real events.
I felt like the news business was a little rough for me and a little sleazy. So I glided right over into acting.
I didn't like being in a newsroom all the time.
The only thing I'd ever done with news was to read copy sitting at the microphone in the studio.
Time is short, life is short, there's a lot to know. So I skip the entertainers in the newspaper now. I just haven't got time.
One good thing about leaving daily journalism was that I was no longer obliged to read all the book prize short lists.
I hardly ever watch the news... I love reading newspapers, but I know they're dying out.
I don't actually go to newsstands anymore.
I left the golden age of documentaries to go into the golden days of the 'CBS Evening News.' You could see that the audiences were eroding.
