“A broadcaster's journalism is valueless unless it is regarded by the public as honest, accurate and fair.”

“The essence of a good interview is that it is an argument.”

“Why is this lying bastard lying to me?”

“I'm here to ask the questions, not to provide the answers.”

“To be a good interviewer, you have to be a good listener.”

“The politician who complains about the media is like a ship's captain complaining about the sea.”

“My job is to be a lightning conductor, not a seismograph.”

“He was a man of splendid triviality.”

“The role of the journalist is to ask the questions that the public would ask if they had the chance.”

“Get on, or get out.”
