Wolf Blitzer

“Two hours on television just doesn't automatically happen. I'm up early, I'm reading newspapers online, talking to my staff, coming up with ideas.”

“My rule of thumb is that if I am interested or intrigued by something, others will be as well.”

“My goal is to make the viewer a little bit smarter.”

“If you are a reliable, honest journalist, sources will open up and trust you and share good information.”

“My best stories come from well-placed sources who point me in the right direction.”

“I have a few TVs.”

“There are millions and millions of patriotic Muslim Americans.”

“Almost every day I wrap up my two-hour live broadcast and I say to myself as I'm driving home, 'I wish I would've done this' or 'We really should have gone live longer with this segment.'”

“I eat right. I exercise. I run 5 miles a day on the treadmill.”

“We'll have to wait the old-fashioned way.”

“I tend to overwrite; I need a good editor.”

“I love covering stories that have huge historic impacts.”

“Looks like a pretty serious race unfolding.”

“My inclination, as an old-school, classically trained journalist, is not to go with a story unless I have it hard. It's not good enough to say something based on rumors that were flying around.”

“I'm a season ticket holder to the Washington Wizards, and I love going to Washington Nationals and Redskins games.”

“When I finished grad school, I sort of fell into journalism. Someone mentioned that there was an entry-level job at the Reuters News Agency. I applied, and, to my amazement, I got the job.”
