In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity.

Not everybody is comfortable with the idea that politics is a guilty addiction. But it is.

The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.

The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason.

So this is how the world works, all energy flows according to the whims of the great magnet.

I had learned very early that not getting caught was just about the solution to every problem. If you were caught then those who hadn't yet been caught had to make an example of you, unless of course you knew the right people.
