Gossip is easy, politics is hard.

The constant variety is the most interesting part of my job.

Online, you have things like Slate Magazine, which has a lot of commentary and analysis of stories, so it gives you a fuller picture. I would compare that to a news magazine or the New Republic.

It's nice to know about something as soon as it happens, and obviously a newspaper can't provide that.

Caring about policy is important - people in washington forget.

At MTV, it's very nice sometimes to be able to be very specific. Specificity really makes a news story interesting because you can color it in that personality.

Knowing policy does help make the gossip more understandable.

It's not like I just have to go to Washington and go to the White House everyday, and go to the same press conference at 10 in the morning and then be briefed at 4 in the afternoon, and then get a story on at 6.

Some of those stories in local newspapers are just as dull and boring as the stories that I get from on-line services, which are basically sort of straight news.

I'm surprised and disappointed in American culture.

When I was a freelancer, I thought this journalism thing was a racket, and now that I'm where I am now, I know it's a racket.

I worked at NBC and MTV for two years, and it was very interesting to see the comparisons of audiences and the way that I would have to present a story to the two different places.

At NBC I wasn't really sure if the grandparents were going to get my sense of humor on a particular topic.

I've been told I'm a player, but people still don't always return my calls.

For the last year I've been at Stanford University as a student and I've had time to read the newspaper.

At MTV, although the audience is smaller, I found it more interesting to deliver news to a specific group of people, because my story then did not have to try to be all things to all people.

If the breaking news story had to do with hard news, politics specifically, I had a lot to do with it. If it had to do with music, Kurt Loder was more involved.

Gossip is easy, politics is hard.

If the breaking news event has something to do with young people, specifically with MTV's audience, there was a higher chance that I would actually go cover it with a television camera instead of just write the story myself and read it on the air.

In the New York Times, you're going to get completely different information than you would in the USA Today.

You have a specific, defined audience-at MTV, they assume the audience to the news is 15 to 30 years old and they do a lot of research about the things they're interested in.

I sometimes read in a gossip column that I was at a party when I was in Europe at the time. It sometimes feels I've got a Doppelganger somewhere.

I think the hardest part about being a teenager is dealing with other teenagers - the criticism and the ridicule, the gossip and rumors.

It's an indulgence to sit in a room and discuss your beliefs as if they were a juicy piece of gossip.

Gossip isn't scandal and it's not merely malicious. It's chatter about the human race by lovers of the same.

Gossip is more popular than literature.

I thought we would have at most an audience of 5,000 devotees because I made the decision to stick to craft, not to gossip, not to be interested in any of the juicy stuff that they talk about on other shows, but stick to the question of craft.

Be Impeccable With Your Word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

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.

Historian - a broad-gauge gossip.

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.

Knowing policy does help make the gossip more understandable.

All literature is gossip.

Gossip, even when it avoids the sexual, bears around it a faint flavor of the erotic.

So live that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip.

Gossip is called gossip because it's not always the truth.

Secrecy sets barriers between men, but at the same time offers the seductive temptation to break through the barriers by gossip or confession.

It is just as cowardly to judge an absent person as it is wicked to strike a defenseless one. Only the ignorant and narrow-minded gossip, for they speak of persons instead of things.

Good gossip is just what's going on. Bad gossip is stuff that is salacious, mean, and bitchy; the kind most people really enjoy.

I don't like to read. The only things I read are gossip columns. If someone gives me a book, it had better have lots of pictures.

Fire and swords are slow engines of destruction, compared to the tongue of a Gossip.

I don't want to be involved in endless media gossip.

I'm more of a guy's girl. I like having a beer in a bar, and I don't bicker or sit down and do my nails. But I have two sisters and a mother, and we're Latin, so we gossip.

I was both very successful and very left; the living demonstration of how you could be on the left and still be in the gossip columns and be envied for the money you made.

Men gossip for just as long and about the same subjects as women, but tend to talk more about themselves.

But nobody is listening to those points. They are just listening to the gossip which is saying that I knew I was positive for all these years because I had a faked test a few years ago.

Anyone who has obeyed nature by transmitting a piece of gossip experiences the explosive relief that accompanies the satisfying of a primary need.

Male and female gossip also sounds different, as women use more animated tones, more detail and more feedback.

Gossip is the Devil's radio.
