Quote

I don't like journalists and I hardly ever talk to them.

I've been avoiding journalists my whole life.

Unfortunately I'm not a smoker, so cigars have never been a part of my agenda.

I can remember how rude I could be at times to journalists and people phoning up for advice.

Listening to a news broadcast is like smoking a cigarette and crushing the butt in the ashtray.

The truth is, I don't have any problem with journalists - I count some of them as friends - also some of my heroes are journalists, I'm a big fan of Robert Fisk - great people or crazy people who are prepared to stand up for what's right.

Everybody I knew, practically, was a journalist when I was a kid - my father, all of his friends. I never wanted to be like those people.

If you want to talk to me, you'll have to put out that cigarette.

My father was a journalist.
