Just telling the facts are no longer enough. You now have to be persuasive, charismatic, interesting, and funny. Just telling people things isn't enough anymore.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I prefer more to kind of show people different things than tell them 'oh, here's what you should believe' and, over time, you can build up a rapport with your audience.
You know I am done lying. Obscuring the truth is no longer something I have any interest in doing. I want it all to come out. The good, the bad, the ugly.
As soon as you sit down to write about something you are pressing your nose deeper into the sewer of facts.
Honesty works against you in the entertainment field. I try to be a journalist and a documentarian, but that doesn't mean that people are going to embrace it at the moment. The point is I'm leaving the mark of my hysteria and the political hysteria, and that's it... I can only do what I do.
Don't confine truth to fact. Imaginative truth is as powerful, and often enough, more so than fact.
There's nothing harder than going on TV and saying something that you don't believe. I don't do that anymore.
Sensationalism sells: Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.
I'm not strong-willed enough or unkind enough... or maybe simply not wise enough to tell a journalist that a subject is out of bounds.
If you're going to tell people the truth, be funny or they'll kill you.
If you're going to be in the business of news and telling people the truth... you've got to be honest. You've got to have the same rules for yourself as you do for everyone else.
