More From Walter Lippmann

What do americans know about morality? they don't want their presidents to have penises but they don't mind if their presidents covertly arrange to support the nicaraguan rebel forces after congress has restricted such aid; they don't want their presidents to deceive their wives but they don't mind if their presidents deceive congress- lie to the people and violate the people's constitution!

Journalism has been very important for me - for a long time i made my living as a journalist, and it also serves as a source of ideas. many of the things i have written i would not have written without the experience of being a journalist.
Ideas Long Important
Clothing sizes are weird, they go: small, medium, large and then extra large, extra extra large, extra extra extra large. something happened at large, they just gave up. they were like, 'i'm not doing any more adjectives; you just keep putting extras on there.' we could do better than that: small, medium, large, whoa, easy, slow down, stop it, interesting, american.

Space expands or contracts in the tensions and functions through which it exists. space is not a static, inert thing. space is alive; space is dynamic; space is imbued with movement expressed by forces and counterforces; space vibrates and resounds with color, light and form in the rhythm of life.

I don't pick my presidents because they were great presidents. i'm not much interested in ranking presidents and who is the best and who is the worst. i am much more inclined to be interested in them if they had an interesting life and if they were a complete person - and by that i mean they also had flaws and failings.

I think we're all actors. there's this friend of mine who's a great drummer, and he said, "i never thought i'd be a drummer, but i got really good at it. i always feel like i'm an actor playing the drums." his real calling was that he was going to be a magician. that's what he felt like he wanted to do. if you decide to act like a journalist, you'll probably be a better journalist than just being a journalist. what you're doing is, you're taking the executive role and stepping outside yourself so that you're able to make more objective decisions.

You try to make characters you care about, and i think realism helps. even though this is a high concept, the characters have got to be real.

Real life has always let me down. that's why i do the monologues. i have always said i would rather tell a life than live a life. but i have to live a life in order to tell one.
