I'm always trying to get those interviews that are impossible to get, because they are the ones that are most interesting to the audience.

If I do an interview with [Holocaust survivor] Elie Wiesel, am I required as a journalist to find a Holocaust denier?

There is no democracy without journalism.

Most people don't realize that two-thirds of the federal budget is Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Pentagon. The U.S. government is an insurance company with an Army.

Science doesn't care, by and large, what the answers are. It's only interested in getting the right answer. And journalism should be very much that way.

If you're first, no one will ever remember. If you're wrong, no one will ever forget.

Never before in human history has more bad information been available to more people.

Twitter, Facebook and Reddit, that’s not journalism. That's gossip. Journalism was invented as an antidote to gossip.

In a world where everyone is a publisher, no one is an editor and that is the danger that we face today.

The country is only as strong as its journalism - that's the way democracies work. The higher the quality of the information, the better informed the electorate is and the better the government runs.

No one ever wanted to hire me. Ever. I've never been recruited anywhere. I have beat my head against every wall, at every place that I worked.

Republics exist as long as the people "adhere to principles and virtue.

From the depths of my brain thoughts are outflows to convert into scientific forms.

You can ask others for directions about your life's path...But remember, then you're on someone else's journey and may get lost. Search for your path within.

Twitter is a human seismograph

Temptation can be defined as an inducement to do evil. Three powerful forces work together to ruin a believer's character and witness: Satan, the world system, and our own lustful "flesh" tendencies.

Hope comes in many forms.

I love interpreting other people's music.

I loved history, particularly of the British, American and Old Testament kind.

I really do believe if there is hope in the world, then it is to be found within our own communities with our own neighbors, and within our own homes and families.

I'm not one of these people that needs to feel loved. I don't need to see my picture everywhere.
