Sometimes you have to go above the law.

I was very happy being a secretary. I loved working for the government. I was very happy with my life.

I think Col. North is first a U.S. citizen and he has the same rights as you yourself do, sir.

I did not know many of the details relevant to the Iran and contra initiatives.

The press was all over to get a picture of me. It got to the point where they were all over my house, following me to work... Then Tom Brokaw and everybody else was doing stories, 'A star is born.'

I wasn't interested in exploiting myself.

True ideas seem to suffer from repetition, while stupid ones tend to flourish.

My life is a fairytale stuck at the climax.

It’s Big Brother with werewolves. Live coverage for a month, leading up to a group kill on full moon.

Science is you! It's your head, it's your dog, it's your iPhone - it's the world. How do you see that as boring? If it's boring, it's because you're learning it from a textbook.

The judgment means a lot. As a journalist being accused of invading someone's privacy, there is always a risk that it will stick to your name.

But I can also write in crappy motel rooms, while standing in line, or sitting in the dentist's chair.

Become such as you are, having learned what that is.

So I think that if I do feel more freedom right now in my career, it's not so much because I have less at stake but more a sense that I've learned more.

When you're working with friends, unless the material is right, our friendship could end.

Scrap doesn't come for free, we pay someone to make it.
