I give lectures for money, but all the money goes to charity. So, I make no money from it.

Bob Woodward

I think journalism gets measured by the quality of information it presents, not the drama or the pyrotechnics associated with us.
BOB WOODWARD

Drama Quality Thinking
Watergate provides a model case study of the interaction and powers of each of the branches of government. It also is a morality play with a sad and dramatic ending.

Government Motherhood Play
They need to review this secret world. We have an incredibly powerful government that gets on automatic pilot.
BOB WOODWARD

Government Need Powerful Support
I think the problem in the Republican Party is really not money. I think they’ve got lots of it. I think it is theory of the case – why are we here, what is our message, how to connect to the real world.

Party Real Thinking
I don’t think it’s useful for somebody to argue with reviews.

Nixon’s grand mistake was his failure to understand that Americans are forgiving, and if he had admitted error early and apologized to the country, he would have escaped.
BOB WOODWARD

Apology Country Mistake
After Nixon resigned in 1974, he engaged in a very aggressive war with history, attempting to wipe out the Watergate stain and memory. Happily, history won, largely because of Nixon’s tapes.

Memories Out War Wiping
I believe Watergate shows that the system did work. Particularly the Judiciary and the Congress, and ultimately an independent prosecutor working in the Executive Branch.
BOB WOODWARD

Believe Independent Work
Nixon had some large achievements in foreign affairs. They will be remembered. But a president probably gets remembered for one thing, and Watergate will head the Nixon list, I suspect.

Achievement Literature President
[Clinton] believes that the Washington press corps is so out of touch that it is absolutely inconceivable that reporters will understand the issues that people are really dealing with in their lives.
BOB WOODWARD

Believe Issues People
Some newspapers have a hands-off policy on favored politicians. But it’s generally very small newspapers or local TV stations.

I don’t think voters give a hoot about the character of their political advisors, except to the extent that character reflects on the candidates.

Character Giving Thinking
There is a garbage culture out there, where we pour garbage on people. Then the pollsters run around and take a poll and say, do you smell anything?
BOB WOODWARD

People Running Smell
I recently did the David Letterman Show about my book. He was very serious and made no jokes and it caught me off guard a little bit. He was much more serious than some of the joke shows that journalists get on.
BOB WOODWARD

Book Jokes Literature Littles Serious
I have written things that Republicans and Democrats and all kinds of figures have either hated or felt very uncomfortable about. Because in doing these long projects and books, you get close to the bone. And they’re not calling me up and asking me for dinner.
