I have written things that Republicans and Democrats and all kinds of figures have either hated or felt very uncomfortable about. Because in doing these long projects and books, you get close to the bone. And they're not calling me up and asking me for dinner.

It would seem that the Watergate story from beginning to end could be used as a primer on the American political system.

Certain political figures think when you call them and ask them for a comment; that you are somehow doing something that you shouldn't be doing.

There's hostility to lying, and there should be.

Even now there is no evidence that anyone involved in the Nixon operation was going to threaten us.

I believe there's too little patience and context to many of the investigations I read or see on television.

We need to police ourselves in the media.
