I see journalists as the manual workers, the laborers of the word. Journalism can only be literature when it is passionate. ↗

In journalism I can only tell what happened. In fiction, I can show it. ↗

Journalism can go right up to the door of the room in which the decisions are made. A novel can go inside the room - and inside the character's heads. ↗

Journalism is concerned with events, poetry with feelings. Journalism is concerned with the look of the world, poetry with the feel of the world. ↗

In journalism just one fact that is false prejudices the entire work. In contrast, in fiction one single fact that is true gives legitimacy to the entire work. That's the only difference, and it lies in the commitment of the writer. A novelist can do anything he wants so long as he makes people believe in it. ↗

I think almost every newspaper in the United States has lost circulation due to the Internet. I also think the Internet will lead to a lot of plagiarism in journalism. ↗

I wasn't the kind of kid like Spielberg or Lucas who knew to go to film school. I didn't know at 12 what I was going to do; it took me until I was about 23. I studied journalism in college, but after school, I got a job in public television and I never worked as a journalist for one moment. ↗
