I think there are people out there who just kind of say, let's repot the plant. Let's give somebody else a chance. And it's not just anger or disappointment in their lives, it's the sense of, let's shake this up. And no one is shaking it up as much as Trump.

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.

The central dilemma in journalism is that you don't know what you don't know.

Because of Watergate in part, I am kind of a magnet for calls and information and suggestions.

I believe Watergate shows that the system did work. Particularly the Judiciary and the Congress, and ultimately an independent prosecutor working in the Executive Branch.

If you interviewed 1,000 politicians and asked about whether the media's "too soft" or "too hard," about 999 would say "too hard."

Reporters may believe they control the story, but the story always controls the reporters.
