More quotes by David Remnick
As journalists, we need to find every avenue to distribute our work, and try to be so good that we become increasingly more influential than before.
David Remnick
I think the Electoral College is an absurd 18th-century construct. But that is the law.
David Remnick
From a personal point of view, I'd like to interview my great-grandparents because I barely knew them, and I know next to nothing about my family beyond 100 years.
David Remnick
I left Gorbachev's office thinking that everything about him was outsized: his achievements, his mistakes, and, now, his vanity and bitterness.
David Remnick
I'm interested in Russian language, culture, history... and I lived there, for four years, as a reporter for the Washington Post and have visited many times since.

Being nervous, first of all, puts you at a distinct disadvantage, and if you've really prepared and if you've really thought through how to start the conversation, things start to fall into place. There are other things I get nervous about, but not that.
David Remnick
I don't think there will be fascism in America, but we have to do everything we can to fight against it.

Trump's rise is troubling not just on an American level but on an international level.
David Remnick
I think we should be alarmed, watchful, and, as journalists, rigorous and fearless. I think we should be alert.

You are losing because of Jewish bankers.
David Remnick
A huge constituency, such as Hispanics, is not 100 percent Democratic.
David Remnick
I got in journalism for any number of reasons, not least because it's so much fun. Journalism should be in the business of putting pressure on power, finding out the truth, of shining a light on injustice, of, when appropriate, being amusing and entertaining - it's a complicated and varied beast, journalism.
David Remnick
You are losing out because Mexican rapists are taking your job.
David Remnick
Russian is such a tough and complex language that I am happy enough to understand everything and read most things pretty well, but, without constant practice, my speech is not what I wish it was, and I would sooner write in crayon than write a letter in Russian.
David Remnick
The minority vote is growing, which is part of the alarm of so many Republicans and why Trump constantly whipped up their alarm with his racist statements.
David Remnick
The world is a crazy, beautiful, ugly complicated place, and it keeps moving on from crisis to strangeness to beauty to weirdness to tragedy. The caravan keeps moving on, and the job of the longform writer or filmmaker or radio broadcaster is to stop - is to pause - and when the caravan goes away, that's when this stuff comes.
David Remnick
Donald Trump lies with astonishing frequency and in stunning volume.
David Remnick
I have to always remember, writing is really hard.
David Remnick
Clearly independent journalists - domestic journalists - run a high risk if they dare to take on serious investigative work.
David Remnick
Mobile is great for us. I think, even though the size of the screen doesn't give everything The New Yorker has to offer, people are spending a lot of time reading - and reading seriously - on the phone.
