My favorite thing is still journalism. I'm almost 50. This has been my life ever since I was in college.

The only school that let me in was U.C. Santa Cruz, which is where I went. They didn't have a journalism program, so I took sociology, which is the closest thing to journalism.

I have no regrets about launching Salon. For the life of me, I can't imagine doing anything else.

There are not that many new media brands you can say that about nowadays.

Most Sunday magazines, with the New York Times as an exception, are kind of sleepy, weekend service vehicles to move living room products.

They may be a little more high brow than we are.

Let us move on and step out boldly though it be into the night and we can scarcely see the way. A Higher Intelligence than the mortal sees the road before us.

Though old the thought and oft exprest 'tis his at last who says it best.

I'm all about working. I'm a really hard worker, and I'm taking advantage of all those different opportunities, on the music and acting side, because I love both.

To attempt to be religious without practicing a specific religion is as possible as attempting to speak without a specific language.

To this day, no one has come up with a set of rules for originality. There aren't any.

We are deep at the bottom of this river of time, caught up in the current of the moment where all the rivers rendezvous.

Revolutions have always started in cafés.

I hope you become comfortable with the use of logic without being deceived into concluding that logic will inevitably lead you to the correct conclusion.

I will talk about it on Monday. I will answer every one of their questions. I always feel nervous when I have to go to court. This is like going to court. But I will be prepared.
