All truths begin as hearsay, as far as I'm concerned.

I envision a future where there'll be 300 million reporters, where anyone from anywhere can report for any reason. It's freedom of participation absolutely realized.

I'm not mean.

The first step in good reporting is good snooping.

All truths begin as hearsay, as far as I'm concerned.

Because I have success, it doesn't mean I'm part of the mainstream. I'm still an outsider.

You would be amazed what the ordinary guy knows.

I've written thousands of stories, started hundreds of news cycles.

There's a danger of the Internet just becoming loud, ugly and boring with a thousand voices screaming for attention.

Not everything I do is gossip or bedroom. To the contrary, I think that's just an easy label to dismiss me and to dismiss the new medium.

Some of the best news stories start in gossip. Monica Lewinsky certainly was gossip in the beginning. I had heard it months before I printed it.

I never think too far into the future. I'm too busy thinking about tomorrow's news.

I do most of my business on that dirty Internet that you were just talking about, where I find there is a lot of freedom to report exactly what I want.

If the first lady is concerned about this Internet cycle, what would she have done during the heyday when there was 12, 13 editions of a paper in one day? What would she have done with that news cycle?

The media is comparable to government-probably passes government in raw power.

If technology has finally caught up with individual liberty, why would anyone who loves freedom want to rethink that?

There's nothing more exciting than to watch a story break and grow, and to be the first one to present it to the world.

It seems to me we are losing our way in an effort to get the ratings.

With a modem, anyone can follow the world and report on the world-no middle man, no big brother. I guess this changes everything.

I cover media people the way they cover politicians.

There won't be editors in the future with the Internet world, with citizen reporting. That doesn't scare me.

I want one place I can go that is not going to be lewd, and I'm not sure there is anything left.

I didn't go to the right schools, didn't come from a well-known family, nor was I even remotely connected to a powerful publishing dynasty.

I don't necessarily think anything on a Web site can have a result.

Television saved the movies. The Internet is going to save the news business.

I was first to break the news about the death of Lady Diana. The CNN team couldn't get into makeup fast enough.

A lot of the stories are internal. They leak it to me wanting to get attention, wanting to get that headline. More times than not, I will not give it to them.

The Internet feeds off the main press, and the main press feeds off the Internet. They're working in tandem.

I follow my conscience - and this is upsetting to some people, but I maintain the conscience is going to be the only thing between us and communication in the future.

Meet them once and you're innocent; meet them twice and you're not. So if you see me having drinks again with Harvey Weinstein then, okay, you've got me.

We have entered an era vibrating with the din of small voices. Every citizen can be a reporter, can take on the powers that be.

I don't like it if I am being held like a baby. If someone holds me normally, and I'm not being coddled, I feel much more comfortable.

Directing is a more pragmatic experience, where you have to deal with the restrictions of time and money that force you to make certain decisions you don't have to make when you're writing.

Worry is a useless mulling over of things we cannot change.

I check all my props, everything. Acting is something I love. I have done it since I was 13 but it had completely taken over my life absolutely.

Arms now empty will be filled and hearts now hurting from broken dreams and yearning will be healed.

Often when He comes, He finds the soul occupied. Other guests are there, and He has to turn away. He cannot gain entry, for we love and desire other things; therefore, His gifts, which He is offering to everyone unceasingly, must remain outside.

I've never really done any interviews as myself.

You're not going to see my sense of humor on the football field. That's not a place for me to joke around.

I think that's what most of us rappers do too often. We put too much information in some of our albums that could actually be on the next ones.

I am for my beloved, and my beloved is for me.

The improv, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but when it does, it's like open-field running.

Of all classes the rich are the most noticed and the least studied.

There is no way to happiness - happiness is the way.

Partisanship particularly increased after the 1994 elections and then the appearance of the first unified Republican government since the 1950s.

I'm the only girl songwriter that fights for a lot of things. I fight for songwriting fees, which record labels want you to shut up about.

There's nothing cure or funny or lovable about being cheap. It's a total turn-off.

I am a big believer that eventually everything comes back to you. You get back what you give out.

Social scientists have found that the fastest way to feel happiness is to practice gratitude.
