Quote

I don't even like being quoted in a press release.

You shouldn't presume that all quotes that are in a magazine or a newspaper are accurate.

I wouldn't agree with some of the things that the press writes about and that's all I have to say about that.

Well, a lot of people don't want to be quoted. But keep in mind that Bob Woodward did all of his Watergate reporting with anonymous sources, and we know how that turned out.

Journalists have misquoted people for so long - and quoted them out of context that for many people like to have their words on record.

As far as the press is concerned, they're going to say what they want to say. Probably about 10-15 percent of the time It's accurate.

I'm constantly playing this game in my head where I'm thinking, 'Can this quote be pared down and misinterpreted?' It doesn't matter what outlet I'm talking to and how comprehensive the interview is, because I have to think in terms of, 'Right, but 'People' magazine could just take this one quote and take it out of context.'

There's a dangerous bottom-lining, and super-summarizing that happens in a lot of our press and our media, and sort of our politicians' talking points, that's dangerously simple. I don't know a better way to say it. And there's usually a lot more complicated facts going on than what is quoted and quotable.

To be amused at what you read - that is the great spring of quotation.

I'm afraid we'll see reporters stop chasing quotes around the same time dogs stop chasing cars.
