More quotes by Dan Rather
In dealing with the press, do yourself a favor, stick with one of three responses: (a) I know and I can tell you (b) I know and I can't tell you (c) I don't know.
Dan Rather
Have you ever had any anger about President Bush - who spent his time during the Vietnam War in the National Guard - running, in effect, a campaign that does its best to diminish your service in Vietnam? You have to be at least irritated by that, or have you been?
Dan Rather
Well, first of all, I don't want to debate the word conservative, but by my definition, a conservative is someone who wants to conserve the Constitution of the United States and the American tradition and law that no one is above the law.
Dan Rather
I know that this story is true.
Dan Rather
Those market researchers... are playing games with you and me and with this entire country. Their so-called samples of opinion are no more accurate or reliable than my grandmother's big toe was when it came to predicting the weather.
Dan Rather
Are the Democrats going to dance the mandate Macarena?
Dan Rather
I had someone at the Houston police station shoot me with heroin so I could do a story about it. The experience was a special kind of hell. I came out understanding full well how one could be addicted to 'smack,' and quickly.
Dan Rather
I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things.
Dan Rather
Americans are once again looking outward
Dan Rather
Turn the lights down, the party just got wilder.
Dan Rather
I got addicted. News, particularly daily news, is more addictive than crack cocaine, more addictive than heroin, more addictive than cigarettes.
Dan Rather
I quote the late Ed Murow. ... He said: 'Look, people listen to me when they want an eyewitness account. 'They think I'm a pretty good reporter. But when it comes to my opinions, mine are not worth anymore than the guy at the end of the bar.' And I believe that about myself.
Dan Rather
Journalism is less addictive than communism.
Dan Rather
I read the book [My Life by Bill Clinton] completely. And I think it compares very favorably with Ulysses S. Grant's gold standard of presidential autobiographies.
Dan Rather
If I didn't have a front-row seat on history, it was at least a seat on the aisle.
Dan Rather
You'd better do what you feel good about doing. If we [try] to figure out what it is the audience wants and then try to deliver it to them, we're lost souls on the ghost ship forever.
Dan Rather
The reelection of Bill Clinton is as secure as a double-knot tied in wet rawhide.
Dan Rather
We may see Michael Jackson's baby before we know the final outcome of this race for the House of Representatives tonight.
Dan Rather
Performing doesn't turn me on. It's an egomaniac business, filled with prima donnas - including this one.
Dan Rather
It's the old shell game.
