I've got a particular way of writing novels, and that carries over into the way I write comics and games, too. I'm a news journalist by background, so I approach everything as reporting - I treat it as real, I ask the questions I'd ask in a real situ...
As a man may know about Africa either by going there personally or by reading descriptions written by travelers who have been there, so may he visit the super-physical realms if he will but qualify himself therefor, or he may learn what others who ha...
I have been a print reporter my whole career. It's all I ever wanted to be. I specialize in political profiles. I have probably profiled hundreds of people over the years, people in very powerful positions. People don't always like what I write, but ...
Woodward and Bernstein,” Jared said from seemingly nowhere. “What?” “They were just two reporters. Yet, they broke the Watergate scandal. They toppled an administration. That’s us.” “We’re Woodward and Bernstein.” Alec said, pointin...
The message is pretty clear: Americans are sick and tired of the doubletalk coming out of Washington, of us going home and saying we're conservative and then coming up here and voting for 10,000 earmarks. We can't fool America anymore; the media is t...
My school reports always used to point out that my concentration levels were appalling. I never listened in class because I was always daydreaming about racing. I never thought for a moment about doing anything else. There was no guarantee that I'd m...
Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not ...
My parents sent me from Venezuela to the Convent of Our Lady, a boarding school in Hastings, which was horrible - like Harry Potter without the magic. Sometimes we went into town, and if we were caught chewing gum in our uniform, members of the publi...
What's happening to movie critics is no different from what has been meted out to book, dance, theater, and fine-arts reviewers and reporters in the cultural deforestation that has driven refugees into the diffuse clatter of the Internet and Twitter,...
We just kind of relied on written scouting reports through the eighties and even the early nineties. I've really been amazed by some of the data that's out there, especially with regards to tendencies of hitters, and certainly tendencies of pitchers ...
I was spending a lot of time in Mumbai after I met my husband, who is Indian, and while parts of the city were prospering like crazy, I couldn't quite make out how the new wealth had changed the prospects of the majority of city residents who lived i...
The bad boy image is something given to me by the media. I have been in relationships earlier, even for as long as three years. I am not saying I am a saint. I am like any other guy, I guess. Unfortunately, every time I even meet a person, it is repo...
Archivist: The report said Commander Chang was killed in the assault. Sonmi-451: That is correct. Archivist: Would you say that you loved him? Sonmi-451: Yes, I do. Archivist: Do you mean, you are still, in love with him? Sonmi-451: I mean, that I wi...
Jedediah Leland: [about Kane's "Declaration of Principles"] I'd like to keep that particular piece of paper myself. I have a hunch it might turn out to be something pretty important. A document... Mr. Bernstein: Sure! Jedediah Leland: ...like the Dec...
TV Director: Roll the rescue stations! TV Producer: We just got a report that half those stations have been knocked out. TV Director: Then get me another list. TV Producer: Sure, I'll just pull one out of my ass, right?
Police Dispatcher: [on Cosmo's police radio] Attention all units. Transit police report officer down at Balbo Station. Kimble is suspect! Repeat; Officer Down! Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard: What'd he do, shoot a cop? Cosmo Renfro: Chicago PD will eat...
[Dana is at home doing exercises as she watches the news on television] Roger Grimsby: Good morning, I'm Roger Grimsby. Today, the entire Eastern Seaboard is alive with talk of incidents of paranormal activity. Alleged ghost sightings and related sup...
Lisbeth Salander: Something wrong with the report? Dirch Frode: No, no. It was quite thorough. I'm more interested in what's not in it. Lisbeth Salander: There's nothing "not in it". Dirch Frode: Your opinion of him isn't . Lisbeth Salander: He's cle...
Marv Loach: United States Government, eh? That must mean something big is happening here. Kent Mansley: No, Marv. Big things happen in big places, and the sooner I file my report, the sooner I can get back to them.
Danny Witwer: Looks like we won't be working together after all, John. Now put the gun down. I don't hear a red ball. [Sirens begin going off, the same sirens that usually indicate a red ball- Witwer's smile drops]
[as Precrime cops barge through the different apartment rooms with their guns out, searching for John] Mother: [referring to her children] [furious] Mother: They're crying their eyes out! You terrified them! You... Knott: [growls] You don't want your...
