You know, I was at CBS News for 28 years. I may have run an unidentified source. Frankly, I don't remember.

Circumstantial evidence is evidence.

We in the press like to say we're honest brokers of information, and it's just not true. The press does have an agenda.

I have met guys who work the overnight shift at 7-11, selling Slurpees and Camels to insomniacs who have more introspection than a lot of people in the mainstream media.

The evening news is a concept whose time has come and gone.

The most meaningless term in the English language is "I take full responsibility." When a politician utters those words it means absolutely nothing.

I didn't say one negative word about poor people or about middle-class people or anything else. All I said was that the rich deserve our gratitude.

I respect the Kennedy family. I respect their service. They do a tremendous amount of good. You don't blame the children for the sins of the father and all of that.

I mean, I think everybody realizes that calling people racist is a waste of time, nobody buys it anymore.

You don't smear somebody as a racist when there is obviously nothing there.

My grandmother was a church organist, but we only went on Easter and Christmas Eve sometimes.

I think I will be able to, in the end, rise above the clouds and climb the stairs to Heaven, and I will look down on my beautiful life.

I think everybody understood what happened, why this consent decree came about after the Freddie Gray situation. There was tension on both sides.

We humans have the capacity to wreak horrors on each other. But we also have the capacity to survive those horrors.

I love my lawyer. I have to say that of course!

At the time I finished high school, I was determined to study biology, deeply convinced to eventually be a researcher.

You are not reconciled to God if you are unreconciled with your fellow human beings.

The message I hope to have sent is just the example of being yourself. I tell this to my students: It's not about copying me or my logic systems. It's about allowing yourself to be yourself.

I have learned something about the job of being the President's wife. She is not chosen by anyone except her husband and she really has no obligations except to him.

It's a sign of mediocrity when you demonstrate gratitude with moderation.
