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.

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.

If you improve a teacher's self-esteem, confidence, communication skills or stress levels, you improve that teacher's overall effectiveness across the curriculum.

I'm a great believer that any tool that enhances communication has profound effects in terms of how people can learn from each other, and how they can achieve the kind of freedoms that they're interested in.

I think sex is very interesting for most people, but I'm interested in sex as a way of communication, I'm not that interested in the fantasy version of a sex scene.

Of all of our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language.

I have a very open line of communication with both my children.

I agree that it is not just the extremists who harbor bad thoughts or engage in bad acts, but they are usually the source of the polarization and try to keep education and communication of the main stream from moving forward.

Society cannot share a common communication system so long as it is split into warring factions.

Without television and mass communication, that knowledge wouldn't exist. So I think it actually has the possibility of turning people into more understanding and more empathetic people.

To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.

Any problem, big or small, within a family, always seems to start with bad communication. Someone isn't listening.

It's a fact that more people watch television and get their information that way than read books. I find new technology and new ways of communication very exciting and would like to do more in this field.

The biggest lesson I've learned by living abroad for the last four years is the importance of communication.

To listen well is as powerful a means of communication and influence as to talk well.

We know that communication must be hampered, and its form largely determined, by the unconscious but inevitable influence of a transmitting mechanism, whether that be of a merely mechanical or of a physiological character.

Our most tragic error may have been our inability to establish a rapport and a confidence with the press and television with the communication media. I don't think the press has understood me.

But despite the universality of URLs, we often forget that they're not just a handy way to address network resources. They're also valuable communication tools.

Self-expression must pass into communication for its fulfillment.

Communication works for those who work at it.
