I purposefully isolate myself from anything that has to do with any press. I don't read any press about myself.

I just never, in my career, got into doing a lot of press.

The press these days should be rather careful about its role. We may have acquired some tendencies about over-involvement that we had better overcome.

I don't talk about my personal life with the press.

When I entered politics, I took the only downward turn you could take from journalism.

Bad stories are written about me because the press knows they can make me into a weeping dog and few people will object.

I have a much better relationship with the press than I did, I think because I stood my ground.

I became a journalist partly so that I wouldn't ever have to rely on the press for my information.

You are your main news platform, so no publication has as much power as you do about posting about yourself.

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.
