Text Quotes
I don’t find music being less important than, like, politics  (Kurt Loder Quotes) Rewriting is a large part of the whole job. And get rid of stuff that’s not working. Just pare it down until it’s a beautiful thing you can hand in, probably late, to your editor.  (Kurt Loder Quotes) You find the most important thing that really grabs you, and put it right up top. Don’t bury the lead. Put it at the top. Best thing to do. Never go wrong that way. It’s an immutable law of journalism. It just always works  (Kurt Loder Quotes) It’s not a good thing to be friends with people you’re covering. There’s just no point in doing it. It’s tempting, but they’re not going to consider you their friend anyway. They just know that you’re somebody that can do something for them  (Kurt Loder Quotes) And so popular culture raises issues that are very important, actually, in the country I think. You get issues of the First Amendment rights and issues of drug use, issues of AIDS, and things like that all arise naturally out of pop culture  (Kurt Loder Quotes) Television’s very dependent on images. That’s not what news is  (Kurt Loder Quotes) Well, a lead is the most important thing about the story  (Kurt Loder Quotes) Television’s not going read stories to you  (Kurt Loder Quotes) Some of the most important stories don’t lend themselves to television treatment  (Kurt Loder Quotes) And you can’t really cover people critically that you’re friends with  (Kurt Loder Quotes) I know what the structure of the language is  (Kurt Loder Quotes) I spent time in, like, criminal courts, and covering murder trials for papers  (Kurt Loder Quotes) And I think a good writer’s gonna make it interesting. From the first paragraph it will all be interesting. Just work at it and work at it and work at it  (Kurt Loder Quotes) I think television often has dismissed younger people. They figure, well, they’re not really watching news, that’s not our audience  (Kurt Loder Quotes) If you ask questions that interest you, you’ll get answers that interest your audience  (Kurt Loder Quotes) Whomever you’re going to interview, you have to be interested in what it is you want to know from them. You have to be interested in the subject  (Kurt Loder Quotes) Unless you’re doing a feature piece, which is going to be longer, and you have more time to get into stuff  (Kurt Loder Quotes) So no one should rely on television either for their knowledge of music or for news. There’s just more going on. It’s an adjunct to the written word, which I think is still the most important thing  (Kurt Loder Quotes) So you shouldn’t really flatter yourself that they want to be your buddy. They don’t. Generally. They want you for some reason or other, and you just have to fend that off all the time  (Kurt Loder Quotes) Well, news is anything that’s interesting, that relates to what’s happening in the world, what’s happening in areas of the culture that would be of interest to your audience  (Kurt Loder Quotes) Well, in features, and in writing especially, it’s often the style of the writer comes in  (Kurt Loder Quotes) If your audience is young, it’d be youth culture, if your audience is older, it’d be older people, if it were senior citizens, it’d be senior citizen issues. So you try and hit the target audience  (Kurt Loder Quotes) And the most important thing you can do is learn to edit yourself. And then go back and rewrite  (Kurt Loder Quotes) It’s gonna be short if it’s news; put it at the top. Style’s not an issue, just make it news  (Kurt Loder Quotes) Rewriting is a large part of the whole job. And get rid of stuff that’s not working. Just pare it down until it’s a beautiful thing you can hand in  (Kurt Loder Quotes) So, yeah, I think it had a major effect. I think in franchising younger people, it was just an idea that’s never been trotted out before, but it makes perfectly good sense  (Kurt Loder Quotes)
