I think everything Joni Mitchell did for music was big.
I'm a huge fan of Joni Mitchell, and I think her music has inspired me lyrically and guitar-wise.
I think the NBA will certainly survive without Michael Jordan.
I named my new son James Joseph Brown II. I think he's going to be a lot better than I was.
Josh Smith, put in the right spots, is an outstanding player. You put Josh down on the right block, in the low post or even on a short isolation - 12 feet, 15 feet from the basket - he can get to the rim. He's outstanding. He's not only a very willing passer but an outstanding passer. I think it's the best part of Josh's game.
Sam Bradford was one of the most humble and grounded players I've ever been around; he got it. But I even told him, what makes you think those fans in the stands are wearing No.14 for you? Who says it's not an old Josh Heupel jersey?
I'm really boring. I think about cooking all the time. I have a little book, so when I go out or see something, I jot it down and try to include it in a recipe or do a variation of it. I even have a notepad by my bed, which is usually saying we're running out of mango chutney.
I don't think that my kind of journalism has ever been universally popular. It's lonely out here.
I can't think in terms of journalism without thinking in terms of political ends. Unless there's been a reaction, there's been no journalism. It's cause and effect.
I can't think of any other job in journalism where the newsmakers come to you.
A veteran journalist has never had time to think twice before he writes.
Things happened there that I don't think are the finest hours for anybody, whether it was a journalist, the legal system or, in that case of the political system, who would say that was an example of when Washington worked best.
I was once a journalist. And I think of myself as a journalist, and that's it. You tell the truth. I even wrote a book called 'The Truth'.
That's what I think a journalist from the '70s and '80s should look like - as though he has led a full journalistic life.
If I feel like I haven't really tapped into the essence of the story when I do an assignment, I may revisit it on my own, and that's when I feel freer to add my imagination. But I think that if you feel imaginatively towards a subject, you really shouldn't do it in a journalistic context, because then you're just fabricating, and that's crazy.
I think it is quite untrue that it is standard journalistic practice to name the interviewer when quoting from an interview.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would become a constant topic for national television and radio shows - never mind mentioned by some of the country's most respected journalists.
All in all, I just don't trust journalists - and I don't think it's a good practice for me to trust journalists.
I prefer the word 'journeyman' to 'journalist' because I think that certainly, when you hear a story, you want to hear certain facts. But I also think what makes a story interesting is the points of view expressed therein.
I think of myself as a journeyman actress. I will attempt almost anything that I think that I can bring off. It could be almost anything.
