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.

We had to do a lot of rehearsals to get it so that it was playable. What it did was make you practice. That's good for any musician to have that kind of pressure. It brings things out of you that might not come out if you don't have to reach for something all the time.

I write instead of going to the shrink!

Wake up every morning with the thought that something wonderful is about to happen.

Running teaches us to keep moving forward, one step at a time, especially in the most painful moments.

If, for example, all the codons are triplets, then in addition to the correct reading of the message, there are two incorrect readings which we shall obtain if we do not start the grouping into sets of three at the right place.

Acting is a bit of a substitute for life.

Don't let anyone steal your dream. It's your dream, not theirs.

I'm not a shill for the Democratic Party.

I come from a simple background, so I couldn't call my father and say, 'Come pay my bills,' so I had to get out there and work.

I do believe, sooner rather than later, churches will face the loss of their tax-exempt status if they do not engage in same-sex ceremonies.

I felt that I shouldn't be an actor who just makes movie after movie in a quest for prestige and money.

Everyone I vote for never wins. Welcome to America.

I represented the 4th District of South Carolina... from the election '92 until election '98. And then I was out six years and then came back for another six years between the election 2004 and the election 2010.

When it comes to cakes and puddings, savouries, bread and tea cakes, the English cannot be surpassed.

You can't be afraid to put out a fire if you're a fireman. You can't be afraid to be a police officer and carry a gun if you're afraid to get up and go out there. So you've got to put that fear to the side and go out in faith to overcome that.

A cabaret song has got to be written - for the middle voice, ideally - because you've got to hear the wit of the words. And a cabaret song gives the singer room to act, more even than an opera singer.

Never stop fighting until you arrive at your destined place - that is, the unique you. Have an aim in life, continuously acquire knowledge, work hard, and have perseverance to realise the great life.

Marvel is a very vast and diverse universe.
