Look, everybody in journalism has a reputation of sorts.

Some of our best journalists take themselves even more seriously than the politicians they write about.

I always saw the best reporters as ones you hardly ever saw other than when they were back in the newsroom, writing their stories.

I had pictured journalism as I'd seen it in the most ennobling films, where the reporter battles for the truth, propelled by conviction, and is triumphant. There are journalists who fit that ideal.

Remember, folks, I am a comedian, not a journalist.

There are a lot of really good skills you get from doing journalism - it completely changed my world and how I interact with other people.

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