When I was at The Orlando Sentinel as a sports columnist, it was embarrassing that I was the only black female sports columnist at a daily newspaper in North America.

Jemele Hill

In the age of social media, everyone's a newspaper columnist, exaggerating what they think and feel.

Charlie Brooker

My dad is the best and funniest newspaper columnist. There is nobody anywhere near as good.

Giles Coren

It was a tedious saying among hippies: if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. I was very much part of the problem.

John Cooper Clarke

I am a newspaper columnist and a professional screenwriter, but my real love is the novel for all the room it has for characters to come alive and breathe and face their challenges.

W. Bruce Cameron

When a newspaper columnist wants to write about a novel, the rule is that you're supposed to have a 'hook,' an excuse, a timely reason to bring up the book in question.

Ross Douthat

I always thought of myself as more of a columnist, but maybe a columnist who does reporting.

John Gruber

My father was one of 11. He was an attorney. My mother worked for the Syracuse newspaper as a columnist before she became a stay-at-home mother.

Siobhan Fallon Hogan

I've said for a long time there is no military solution to the crisis in Syria. There has to be a diplomatic solution. ISIL cannot be part of it.

George Packer

My dad died when I was young. He was a good and decent man. There are a few things he would say that have just always stuck with me. He'd say, "Son, you're either part of the problem or part of the solution." Well, regrettably, President Obama has become part of the problem, and Mitt Romney is the solution.

Paul Ryan

We know Roger Ebert loved the 'Sun-Times' and his career as a newspaper columnist. But ironically, it was his illness and losing his voice that caused him to explore another venue.
