Quote

I admit that I am hopelessly hooked on the printed newspaper. I love turning the pages and the serendipity of stumbling across a piece of irresistible information or a photograph that I wasn't necessarily intending to read.

Well I just always wanted to be a newspaper reporter.

I write as well as I can. I'm a journalist at heart, so it's the story that matters.

I was a newspaper editor in high school, and I truly thought of journalism as a career. I loved it.

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

I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it.

It turned out I really didn't like journalism. I wanted to make up stories, not cover real events.

I did not read newspapers until I became a reporter.

I used to love writing in my journal.

I'm most honest about writing when I'm talking to family or friends, not to newspapers.
