I don't hate journalists. You can't hate a class of people. It's wrong to say that. But I do think they're a bit like poison. Never trust them. You can't trust them as a class of people. It's their job not to be trusted.

My sense, and I'm sort of guessing, is that the journalists were being classified by the government as common criminals, and the political prisoners were so resistant to being that.

Like they're going to become friends. That's why most celebrity journalism is so terrible.

I think people always have - not just journalists who help their careers, I think all people struggle with this idea that a female pop artist can write all her songs.

They're so boring. They're so pathetic, all those journalists. Most of them are. Most of those kind that write gossip stuff, and most of it's gossip.
