I read this morning that he's [Saddam Hussein] also said the love that the Iraqis have for him is so much greater than anything Americans feel for their President because he's been loved for 35 years, he says, the whole 35 years.

I think the one lesson I have learned is that there is no substitute for paying attention.

The Center for Public Integrity is the real thing. A group of dedicated people who remember that great journalism is about grit and guts and stamina and razor-sharp instincts. They are, thank heaven, here to stay.

I think no one knows my politics.

People assume you can't be shy and be on television. They're wrong.

People tend to vote the present tense - not the subjective.

Don't let other people tell you who you are.
