Somebody once said I had a face for radio and a voice for newspapers.

All of us, whether or not we're celebrities, every one ought to spend part of their life making someone else's life better.

We can't just have mainstream behavior on television in a free society, we have to make sure we see the whole panorama of human behavior.

It's just a show. It's not the end of Western Civilization. It's chewing gum.

My guess is more reporters probably vote Democrat than Republican - just because I think reporters are smart.

With a face like mine, I do better in print.

Somebody once said I had a face for radio and a voice for newspapers.

To go from politics to news, at least the subject matter is the same, even if the view is different.

I don't live in Hollywood. I don't have celebrities as friends. I like them, but I don't pal around with them. I just live in the Midwest, a real normal world.

I don't want to be a celebrity.

I knew early on that I would do politics, but I would never make a living at it. I would do something else.

I play a crazy talk-show host, but that's not me. It's like an actor playing a role.

I treat politics kind of like my religion. It's something I believe in, but I don't want to have to make a living at it, because if you make a living at it, you somehow become dishonest.

I watch sports and cable news. I'm a political junkie, so that's my interest.

I'm a happy guy, but if I'm in a rare dark mood, I won't go out because I don't want to be horrible to people.

I'm always playing a role, whether it's the role of the mayor, the role of a news anchor, or a role of a crazy talk-show host. But there was a specific function. 'On Dancing With The Stars', I had nothing to do but be me, schlepping around the floor. And when I host 'America's Got Talent', that's really me just talking to regular folks.

I'm liberal, but I watch the three majors. Obviously I watch MSNBC, also CNN and Fox, which is what I would call ridiculously to the right.

No one would have picked me out in high school and said, 'This guy is going to be in show business.' I don't have any of the talents you would normally associate with show business.

There's something about the openness of the American people. Yes, we have our faults, but deep down, there's a goodness. America doesn't want to take over the world; in many ways, we don't want to be bothered by the rest of the world.

We are all born as empty vessels which can be shaped by moral values.

When I was first on 'Dancing With The Stars', people were really shocked and surprised.

Its just a show. Its not the end of Western Civilization. Its chewing gum.

If you cant be committed to another person at least be committed to the concept of character and dont cheat.

All people have feelings, they are not there to be used. If you're not longer interested in someone, they have the right to be informed before you go and cheat or go looking elsewhere.

Critics are sentinels in the grand army of letters, stationed at the corners of newspapers and reviews, to challenge every new author.

Nowadays I'm not even sure if newspapers take into account whether a person is a good writer.

In the little hall leading to it was a rack holding various Socialist or radical newspapers, tracts, and pamphlets in very small print and on very bad paper. The subjects treated were technical Marxist theories.

It's strange that the newspapers don't see a connection between their false revelations about my private life and my need for seclusion and security.

I couldn't have attended half the parties that I was supposed to have been to according to the newspapers. It bothers me.

What kind of morons do you have working at newspapers in Austin that would base an entire review of an artist's performance on whether or not they had a good seat?

In these times we fight for ideas and newspapers are our fortress.

Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.

The nicest thing is to open the newspapers and not to find yourself in them.

Radio, newspapers, they were normal parts of my life. In those days, you had to go somewhere to watch television and leave something to see it.

It was 1966 by the time I started taking pictures seriously and books, newspapers and magazines of the time were full of great pictures that helped to inspire me.

Rage is the only quality which has kept me, or anybody I have ever studied, writing columns for newspapers.

No one knows who is listening, say nothing you would not wish put in the newspapers.

I suppose I will go on selling newspapers until at last will come the late night final.

Journalism is popular, but it is popular mainly as fiction. Life is one world, and life seen in the newspapers is another.

My name was on the list very early after these announcements were made through the newspapers in Europe.

The votes of 60,000 Floridians were not counted. The Court threw out all 60,00 votes. And that's what the newspapers around the country are counting now.

Don't believe everything that you read in the newspapers.

My reputation was a bit exaggerated. Things were written in newspapers, then copied, then doubled. One of the reasons why I never disclaimed that, was because I found it amusing. But I also constructed such an image for myself in order to gain more of a private life.

And in the Second World War, you didn't just read about it in the newspapers because you weren't allowed to read it in the newspapers. It was all censored, you know? So nobody knew what we were doing.

I tried to keep it secret, but the story got into the newspapers. It was more difficult for my family, who couldn't understand why the media wouldn't leave me in peace.

Frankly, despite my horror of the press, I'd love to rise from the grave every ten years or so and go buy a few newspapers.

I have always had strong maternal instincts. Even when I was still a child I cut out pictures of prams from newspapers and imagined the feeling of pushing my own pram through fresh winter snow and seeing the wheels' tracks behind me in the snow.

The Washington black community was able to succeed beyond his wildest dreams. I mean, we had our own newspapers, our own restaurants, our own theaters, our own small shops, our own clubs, our own Masonic lodges.

And you probably remember all of those papers and documents that they had published in the newspapers. And, you know, when you look at that, it really was their own little jihad that they had going. It just wasn't taken very seriously then.
