Zitat des Tages von Diane Sawyer:
I'm always fascinated by the way memory diffuses fact.
I have a contract but it's not a commitment in the ordinary sense. It's our ongoing conversation.
We did exactly what everybody in the country did, watching it. You entered this state of sort of denials. You think, well, it must have been a tragic accident by an amateur pilot. And then you see the next plane coming.
Follow what you are genuinely passionate about and let that guide you to your destination.
If you're curious, you'll probably be a good journalist because we follow our curiosity like cats.
I don't know why I'm saying I'm brave.
The interesting thing is always to see if you can find a fact that will change your mind about something, to test and see if you can.
People tend to vote the present tense - not the subjective.
Hope changes everything, doesn't it?
Every time somebody tries to go in and reinvent what we do, it always ends up being more about technology and sets, and flash and dash, forgetting the main thing, which is interesting people saying interesting, important things.
The most fun is getting paid to learn things.
I have a liberal definition of news because I think news can be what excites people. I'm not very sanctimonious about what news is and isn't.
I don't think it's about entertainment. I think it's about being ourselves.
I get involved in the beginning, less in the middle, and very much at the end.
I think the one lesson I have learned is that there is no substitute for paying attention.
People assume you can't be shy and be on television. They're wrong.
Sometimes I forget some of the things I've done. I recently recalled that after Watergate I went away by myself to Tahiti for a month, moving from island to island. That was a point in my life where I didn't know what was next.
The one lesson I have learned is that there is no substitute for paying attention.
I like talking. I didn't know at the time I would have to worry so much about my hair.
An investigation may take six months. A quick interview, profile, a day.
Whatever you want in life, other people are going to want it too. Believe in yourself enough to accept the idea that you have an equal right to it.
I'm not sure people are ever completely comfortable telling pollsters what they do and don't think.
I've always wanted to throw a party where everyone comes with their mother's meatloaf. Everybody could evoke their mother's memory through her meatloaf.
I keep trying to perfect my mother's meatloaf recipe. I will never get it perfect, but I'm getting closer.
I think there's a point at which you know how you dress isn't going to affect how much you do in life.
Great questions make great reporting.
I've always found a cure for the blues is wandering into something unknown, and resting there, before coming back to whatever weight you were carrying.
