Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous.

There are honest journalists like there are honest politicians -- they stay bought.

Every filmmaker, every journalist has to be arrogant. You have to say "I have the truth, you got to pay attention, you got to listen."

Our very lives depend on the ethics of strangers, and most of us are always strangers to other people.

As a student I learned from wonderful teachers and ever since then I've thought everyone is a teacher.

Secrecy is the freedom tyrants dream of

What's right and good doesn't come naturally. You have to stand up and fight for it -- as if the cause depends on you, because it does.

Democracy may not prove in the long run to be as efficient as other forms of government, but it has one saving grace: it allows us to know and say that it isn't.

A journalist is basically a chronicler, not an interpreter of events. Where else in society do you have the license to eavesdrop on so many different conversations as you have in journalism? Where else can you delve into the life of our times? I consider myself a fortunate man to have a forum for my curiosity.

In one way or another, this is the oldest story in America: the struggle to determine whether "we, the people" is a spiritual idea embedded in a political reality -- one nation, indivisible -- or merely a charade masquerading as piety and manipulated by the powerful and privileged to sustain their own way of life at the expense of others.

The printed page conveys information and commitment, and requires active involvement. Television conveys emotion and experience, and it's very limited in what it can do logically. It's an existential experience-there and then gone.

A producer is a saboteur who tries to infiltrate the passivity of viewers and to create impressions that are lasting.
