I thank God I was a reporter before I became a writer.

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

In a very straightforward way, I am a terrible reporter. I'm not someone who can go into a story and not get involved.

I've always thought of myself as a reporter.

You can be a great reporter and not be such a great talk show host.

I have nothing to do with the selection of stories. I'm the reporter.

I was so thrilled being a reporter, because it gave you the kind of access to people that you wouldn't ever get to meet.
