So you shouldn't really flatter yourself that they want to be your buddy. They don't. Generally. They want you for some reason or other, and you just have to fend that off all the time.

So no one should rely on television either for their knowledge of music or for news. There's just more going on. It's an adjunct to the written word, which I think is still the most important thing.

It's gonna be short if it's news; put it at the top. Style's not an issue, just make it news.

Whomever you're going to interview, you have to be interested in what it is you want to know from them. You have to be interested in the subject.

I came over here and worked for rock magazines, and I worked for Rolling Stone, which has a very high standard of journalism, a very good research department.

If your audience is young, it'd be youth culture, if your audience is older, it'd be older people, if it were senior citizens, it'd be senior citizen issues. So you try and hit the target audience.

I spent time in, like, criminal courts, and covering murder trials for papers.

I think television often has dismissed younger people. They figure, well, they're not really watching news, that's not our audience.

Well, in features, and in writing especially, it's often the style of the writer comes in.

I don't find music being less important than, like, politics.

If you ask questions that interest you, you'll get answers that interest your audience.

I don't think you will crawl when you have legs to walk. I don't think you will walk when you have wings to fly.

You have to really believe that you can move mountains.

Home is where the heart unveils.

If we have the power and the means, then we must help.

The adrenaline gets pumping and you just got to forget about [injuries] and play.

I am what I am. A fighter.

I can alter my life by altering my attitude. He who would have nothing to do with thorns must never attempt to gather flowers.

We can't wave a magic wand and get rid of any of these people's problems, but what they want is they want to be heard.

I love playing a role where I think I'm right and then you learn you're not.

The best thing about time passing is the privilege of running out of it, of watching the wave of mortality break over me and everyone I know.
