If the reporter has killed our imagination with his truth, he threatens our life with his lies.

I'd be a terrible journalist. I wouldn't want to pry; I just don't have that nature.

The great thing about being a print journalist is that you are permitted to duck. Cameramen get killed while the writers are flat on the floor. A war correspondent for the BBC dedicated his memoir to 50 fallen colleagues, and I guarantee you they were all taking pictures. I am only alive because I am such a chicken.

There are still journalists who risk their lives in situations of conflict, versus those who sit behind a desk at 'News of the World' to report on whether someone is going out with somebody or not.

I would appear on Fox News more easily than I would NPR.

I would never have been a good reporter because I am not accurate regarding facts.

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

I envision a future where there'll be 300 million reporters, where anyone from anywhere can report for any reason. It's freedom of participation absolutely realized.

I've always thought of myself as a reporter.

I still believe that if your aim is to change the world, journalism is a more immediate short-term weapon.
