I didn't look at any of the newspapers, I look at the pictures sometimes, but apart from that I don't read them.

We have got to make sure there is proper independent scrutiny and accountability for people in the press, just as there should be in any other industry where things go wrong. But let's not try and think it is for politicians or governments to tell people what they stick in newspapers. That is deeply illiberal.

Now if you look at the London 'Times,' you'll find that with quite a number of the photographs, you touch them, and they turn into videos. I think newspapers come alive that way. We talk about 'papers.' We should cut out the word 'paper,' you know? It's 'news organizations.'

You can never get all the facts from just one newspaper, and unless you have all the facts, you cannot make proper judgements about what is going on.

In fact, I don't read newspapers any longer.

I get into all sorts of trouble with my publicists and with newspapers because I won't do photographs.

Every day I tell myself that reading newspapers is a waste of time, but then... I cannot do without them. They are like a drug.

I think we'll always have newspapers, but they'll lose influence.

I don't read all the newspapers.

I don't even read the newspaper; I don't read that crap.
