As a journalist, I think it's OK to feel - I think there's space for it. It's how you react to those feelings that's important.

To be completely honest, I never thought I could become a model growing up. I actually wanted to be an entertainment journalist.

As I point out in the very first pages of 'Into the Wild,' I approached this book not as a normal, you know, unbiased journalist.

I'm an entertainer. Not a journalist or spokesman for anybody. Truth is, a lot of my listeners absolutely hate what I have to say.

I'm Harvard-educated; I'm an economist by training. I'm an author, a journalist, as well as being active in community development.

I am an old journalist, so I always do a lot of research and dive deep into people's character, who they are, and their motivation.

You are not just a funny person or just a journalist. Most people are hybrids of having a smart opinion and a great sense of humor.

To me, that's the foundational fact of my identity is that I'm a journalist and so it's hard to imagine putting anything else first.

I worked for a brief spell as a journalist, but soon I discovered that I didn't want to be a journalist - I wanted to be a historian.

I have respect for my fellow journalists at the other networks, and I wish them all well. This is a tough business, so good for them.

I see myself as a journalist reporting neglected stories about our past and trying to bring rigor, reason and intuition to the quest.

I want to go to college to study journalism. I want to speak French fluently, to travel. My mom was a journalist and it's in my blood.

Journalists grow accustomed to seeing evil and they let it pass; they proceed to approve it, and they end by committing it themselves.

As I've gotten older, I've realized that things are a lot more permeable. It's not so black and white: not every journalist is a jerk.

I'm not strong-willed enough or unkind enough... or maybe simply not wise enough to tell a journalist that a subject is out of bounds.

The desire to become a journalist came really because I very much like living abroad, and like to travel, and wanted to be paid for it.

I was a war correspondent and journalist for a long time, and I was very near the towers on 9/11 and very shortly after in Afghanistan.

Journalists hold themselves apart, and above, the common person. They have rules designed to ensure their objectivity and impartiality.

As a journalist, you don't tend to interview people with a view to becoming their friend. You can't expect that. It's not professional.

I started as a journalist for magazines in New York City, so it was always storytelling. And moving into movies was a natural transition.

I'm not a journalist; I'm probably a horrible interviewer. The one small thing I have is I'm curious, and I'm interested in who I'm with.

A journalist can make or break a case, in a way, because they can figure out things the police can't, or they can destroy people's lives.

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.

An interview will seem very sane to me, and I'll find out that the journalist was laughing out of the side of his mouth half of the time.

Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible.

Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible.

Since I'm not a journalist, I talk about issues that encourage an interchange of ideas through conversation while also being entertaining.

I was once a journalist. And I think of myself as a journalist, and that's it. You tell the truth. I even wrote a book called 'The Truth'.

Although we were never pals and occasionally butted heads, my relationship with Clinton and his wife, Hillary, made me a better journalist.

I'm still hesitant to call myself a journalist. I see myself as a documentary maker who is trusted with hard-hitting current affairs issues.

Journalism is the protection between people and any sort of totalitarian rule. That's why my hero, admittedly a flawed one, is a journalist.

If you're a good journalist, what you do is live a lot of things vicariously, and report them for other people who want to live vicariously.

As a journalist, I know what it is like to incur the self-righteous wrath of people who denounce you for things you didn't say or didn't mean.

I've been a software engineer, a novelist, a journalist, and a manager - and managing developers is easily the trickiest thing I've ever done.

Letting journalism be from the perspective of the journalist. It's usually a no-no, and journalists are encouraged to be completely objective.

I'm a terrible interviewer. I'm not a journalist - although I have a Peabody Award - and I'm not really a late-night host. What I am is honest.

The job of a journalist is to find out stuff. The job of the government - sometimes - is to keep stuff secret. There's a natural tension there.

Having been a journalist for almost 20 years and then becoming a politician has definitely been an interesting and enriching experience for me.

A long life in journalism convinced me many presidents ago that there should be a large air space between a journalist and the head of a state.

I think documentary filmmakers need as much protection as possible under journalist's privilege. How else is the public to know what is going on?

I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about the journalists; we can only hope that they will die off as the deerflies do towards the end of August.

For some people it's real therapy to talk to journalists about their private lives and inner thoughts. But I would rather keep something to myself.

As a journalist, I've been a professional watcher, picking up the body language and verbal tics that make us individuals and interesting to others.

One of the advantages of being a national journalist of some recognition is that you come across high-profile people, and many become your friends.

Politicians are just Daily Mail journalists writ large, aren't they? They're always telling us what's going to happen, and we know they don't know!

People say to me that I'm a role model in technology, but it makes me laugh, because I'm not a technologist, I'm a journalist - that's my background.

I'm not an advocacy journalist - that's not what I do. My role in journalism is to be able to engage the most interesting people with the best ideas.

My role as a broadcast journalist is to analyse information and pass it on to the community. And also as a journalist to hold governments to account.

The most important thing for anyone, I think, is to be engaged, whether you're an artist or a journalist is to be engaged in the process at some level.

I have my limited skills as a journalist and a father, and the journalist part is really part of my mindset, to use my skills to try to solve problems.
