I'm not a journalist or a politician or an activist.

Alice Levine

I've learned in my years as a journalist that when a politician says 'That's ridiculous' you're probably on the right track.

Becoming a politician is the only step down I could take from being a journalist.

Jim Hightower

I realise that, strutting around in power corridors for political coverage, a journalist becomes half a politician.

Rajeev Shukla

I've been both a journalist and a politician, and I can tell you it is more fun to ask the questions than have to answer them.

Michael Ignatieff

If you're a journalist - and I think, on some level, I'm a journalist, and proud to be a journalist, or a documentarian, however you want to describe it - part of what I do has to be the pursuit of the truth.

Errol Morris

Is there any fixed qualification for becoming a journalist who can ask questions? There is no such thing, then why a film actor can't become a politician?

Nagma

Entering public life as a woman - be it as a politician, journalist, expert or activist - makes you the target of the most sinister threats, abuse and language.

Gina Miller

The one thing that shaped my life was when I was 15 or 16: I knew I wanted to be a journalist. And not just a journalist, but a journalist in the Middle East, and to go back to the Arab world and try to understand what it meant to be Lebanese.

Anthony Shadid

It's not something that defines me. I'm not a half-Indian politician or a doctor politician or a gay politician for that matter... it is part of my character, I suppose.

Leo Varadkar

Having been a journalist for almost 20 years and then becoming a politician has definitely been an interesting and enriching experience for me.

Rajeev Shukla

A politician is a man who understands government, and it takes a politician to run a government. A statesman is a politician who's been dead 10 or 15 years.

Harry S. Truman

If anybody ever tries to do an investigative report on a journalist, much like the kind and the way a journalist would do on a public figure, have you ever seen a stuck pig? Because that's what the journalist looks like.

Rush Limbaugh

I am old enough to think the word 'journalist' is not all that noble a designation. Journalist - that record keeper, quote taker and processor of press releases - was, in the world of letters I grew up in, a lower-down job. To be a writer - once the ambition of every journalist - was to be the greater truth teller.

Michael Wolff

The dominant and most deep-dyed trait of the journalist is his timorousness. Where the novelist fearlessly plunges into the water of self-exposure, the journalist stands trembling on the shore in his beach robe. The journalist confines himself to the clean, gentlemanly work of exposing the grieves and shames of others.

Janet Malcolm
