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

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

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

Nora Ephron

I don't think I ever wanted to be a journalist - I was more interested in what comes from being a journalist.

Benjamin Booker

I wanted to be a lawyer. Then a journalist. Actually, I graduated from university as a journalist.

Hugh Jackman

I never intended to be a journalist. Frankly, I don't think I ever was a journalist. I backed into it.

Laurence Shames

If you read the book, you're not a journalist. You're some impostor! No journalist actually does any work.

Tucker Max

I worked for a brief spell as a journalist, but soon I discovered that I didn't want to be a journalist - I wanted to be a historian.

Robert Darnton

I'm a reasonably accomplished journalist. I've worked as an investigative journalist, I've done crime beat stuff.

Brianna Wu

I have been asking if I'm an activist or a journalist. And my answer is very simple. I'm just a journalist who asks questions.

Jorge Ramos

My role as a broadcast journalist is to analyse information and pass it on to the community. And also as a journalist to hold governments to account.

Norman Swan

If I wasn't a writer/director, I would be an investigative journalist. There's something about being an undercover journalist. I mean, that's freakin' cool!

Paul Wesley
