Quote

You're required to be outspoken in journalism, and in television you're exposed anyway, because everyone watches it.

I go out and look for a good story to tell and if I like it enough and I decide to direct it, I become dangerously involved in becoming a part of that story.

I think for more than half of my career, I have refrained from talking to the media.

Well, to be honest I think I tell less truth when I write journalism than when I write fiction.

Journalism makes you think fast. You have to speak to people in all walks of life. Especially local journalism.

I've made this decision not to talk to the press about anything that's gone on in my life, but just to write music about it. They can interpret it themselves.

I think a lot of times, when people who get a chance to meet me and be around me, they understand that I'm not the person that the media make me out to be.

I try to tell the story, always. I do not want to be part of it.

As a reporter, I approach every situation knowing that everyone has his or her own agenda. It's not a bad thing; it's just a fact.

I never, ever have seen media this way. It's almost indescribable. Making up stories, refusing to run real stories. It's making themselves look like utter fools. There's no journalism, there is no media. There's pure, full-fledged advocacy here.
