Journalism is, indeed, a noble calling, and I have much I hope to accomplish in the next phase of my career.

Journalism will kill you, but it will keep you alive while you're at it.

I think that having a job in journalism, despite all of the changes, is still a fantastic way to be - make a living observing your society and having a chance to use your voice.

I'm a journalist; I love doing interviews, and I hope that will continue.

When you do a piece of journalism, you may have to cut away 95 percent of what you are experiencing.

I always like to have a buffer between me and journalism in general. Not just a reporter, but journalism.

Journalism doesn't have to be your first love... or your only love. You can come to it in desperation, because you can't think of anything better to do with your life, that it's this or the abyss. But once you get going... it helps if you love it.

Someday perhaps I'll have to get a grownup job... but for now I'm having too much fun being a reporter.

Journalism: an ability to meet the challenge of filling the space.

Journalism is my first love. But music comes in a close second. What's important for me is that whatever you do, whatever your passion is, you should have another passion - something in your life. And when I put on that musician hat and I put the bass in my hands, I'm not Lester Holt the TV guy anymore. I'm just Lester Holt who likes music.
