Matt Drudge Quotations

Paltrow : I Don't Want to Live in America.

Don't let them do to the Internet what they did to all the rest.

This list was released after a non-journalist gossip monger on the Internet started this a week ago, without any facts, ... And I stand here today among some of you who have broken the agreement on putting it out before the agreed upon hour.

I'm not sure I'll ever hit that level and to the level of official stature that Bob Woodward had for his Nixon coverage, simply because I'm an outsider, ... But to the degree that the story now threatens a president, I do think it's on the same level as what Woodward and Bernstein did with their coverage and applying the pressure.

I continue to be the only individual on the Net making a name for himself.

I don't necessarily think anything on a Web site can have a result.

There won't be editors in the future with the Internet world, with citizen reporting. That doesn't scare me.

There's nothing more exciting than to watch a story break and grow, and to be the first one to present it to the world.

I never think too far into the future. I'm too busy thinking about tomorrow's news.

I was first to break the news about the death of Lady Diana. The CNN team couldn't get into makeup fast enough.

I want one place I can go that is not going to be lewd, and I'm not sure there is anything left.

The first step in good reporting is good snooping.

I do most of my business on that dirty Internet that you were just talking about, where I find there is a lot of freedom to report exactly what I want.

Meet them once and you're innocent; meet them twice and you're not. So if you see me having drinks again with Harvey Weinstein then, okay, you've got me.

I didn't go to the right schools, didn't come from a well-known family, nor was I even remotely connected to a powerful publishing dynasty.

It seems to me we are losing our way in an effort to get the ratings.

Please give reason. Raised taxes; marching us off to war again; approved more NSA snooping. WHO ARE THEY?!

With a modem, anyone can follow the world and report on the world-no middle man, no big brother. I guess this changes everything.

We have entered an era vibrating with the din of small voices. Every citizen can be a reporter, can take on the powers that be.

The media is comparable to government-probably passes government in raw power.

Television saved the movies. The Internet is going to save the news business.

A lot of the stories are internal. They leak it to me wanting to get attention, wanting to get that headline. More times than not, I will not give it to them.

The Internet feeds off the main press, and the main press feeds off the Internet. They're working in tandem.

If the first lady is concerned about this Internet cycle, what would she have done during the heyday when there was 12, 13 editions of a paper in one day? What would she have done with that news cycle?

Some of the best news stories start in gossip. Monica Lewinsky certainly was gossip in the beginning. I had heard it months before I printed it.

If technology has finally caught up with individual liberty, why would anyone who loves freedom want to rethink that?

I envision a future where there'll be 300 million reporters, where anyone from anywhere can report for any reason. It's freedom of participation absolutely realized.

I've written thousands of stories, started hundreds of news cycles.

Because I have success, it doesn't mean I'm part of the mainstream. I'm still an outsider.

I cover media people the way they cover politicians.

I follow my conscience - and this is upsetting to some people, but I maintain the conscience is going to be the only thing between us and communication in the future.

Not everything I do is gossip or bedroom. To the contrary, I think that's just an easy label to dismiss me and to dismiss the new medium.

You would be amazed what the ordinary guy knows.

There's a danger of the Internet just becoming loud, ugly and boring with a thousand voices screaming for attention.

Since Democrats vs. Republicans has been obliterated, no real difference between parties...

There will be over 3,500 killed in USA today from abortion. No flags lowered, no presidents crying. No media hyperventilating. Normal day,

All truths begin as hearsay, as far as I'm concerned.
