Momentum was momentum, whether you found it in music or on the street or in the beat of your own heart.

I don't think anyone will believe me, but I've never been pressured by a publisher to churn out a book.

I've been able to write at least one book a year for 20 years, and I don't think I would've had that kind of drive if I hadn't come out of the journalism business.

I think there'd be huge losses if there weren't newspapers. I know everything's shifting to the Internet and some people would say, 'News is news, what you're talking about is a change of consumption, not the product that's out there.' But I think there is a change.

There is no client as scary as an innocent man.

Can't complain because nobody listens.

What is jealousy but a reflection of your own failures?
