I want one place I can go that is not going to be lewd, and I'm not sure there is anything left.

There's nothing more exciting than to watch a story break and grow, and to be the first one to present it to the world.

Because I have success, it doesn't mean I'm part of the mainstream. I'm still an outsider.

I'm not mean.

Television saved the movies. The Internet is going to save the news business.

I do most of my business on that dirty Internet that you were just talking about, where I find there is a lot of freedom to report exactly what I want.

I didn't go to the right schools, didn't come from a well-known family, nor was I even remotely connected to a powerful publishing dynasty.

With a modem, anyone can follow the world and report on the world-no middle man, no big brother. I guess this changes everything.

A lot of the stories are internal. They leak it to me wanting to get attention, wanting to get that headline. More times than not, I will not give it to them.

We have entered an era vibrating with the din of small voices. Every citizen can be a reporter, can take on the powers that be.

If the first lady is concerned about this Internet cycle, what would she have done during the heyday when there was 12, 13 editions of a paper in one day? What would she have done with that news cycle?

There's a danger of the Internet just becoming loud, ugly and boring with a thousand voices screaming for attention.
