There was also a hunger strike in front of the National Press Club, which seemed an odd place to have a hunger strike (a cocktail fast, maybe). Although the Bangladeshis were savvy enough to know to know that if you're going to pester journalists, don’t go to where they work: You’ll never find them there.
~ P. J. O'Rourke(All the Trouble in the World)
Even we, two innocents, had quickly learnt to be highly nervous of the press, the most frightening members of which were those heavenly twins and deadly rivals Louella Parsons and Hedda Hopper. From this second lady you might expect more kindness and understanding as she had herself been something of a star in the silent days; but perhaps she nursed the bitterness shared by so many who had not made the bridge from silents to talkies, or perhaps she just had an intelligent appreciation that if you were going to be a gossip columnist, you had either to be a bitch or sink into obscurity.
~ Sir Laurence Olivier(Confessions of an Actor)
