I'm an everyday guy - I'm a try-to-write-at-least-15-minutes-every-day-if-not-an-hour-or-two kind of guy. I write in Google docs so that wherever you go, you have access to it.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
I definitely pack coffee if I'm going someplace where it might not be available. When I went to Afghanistan in 2011, I brought a bunch of instant coffee. I didn't need to do that, of course, because army people drink industrial-strength coffee and have it going 24/7.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
There are basic lines of human decency, norms to which society generally agrees and to which we adhere, and we continue to see the Trump presidency eroding these lines.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
I tried to do a comic strip. I came close, and I met with Universal Press Syndicate in Kansas City, but ultimately, they did not go with my strip.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
My kids are good artists, and they do a pretty good version of Dad in their caricatures.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
Politicians don't like tough coverage, and their protectors try to destroy the messengers.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
I have asked people repeated follow-ups for a while and asked people uncomfortable questions for a while. I just try to hold people accountable.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
I do breakfast first, which is a small bowl of oatmeal and some sort of protein, like hard-boiled eggs. And then I work out - 40 minutes of cardio and maybe some strength training.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
My first race was '99/2000. At that time, I was at 'Salon,' and I was basically their campaign reporter, so I would just jump around from race to race, candidate to candidate.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
I'm trying to spend less time with the phone when the kids are awake in general. I need to get better about that. It's a perennial New Year's resolution.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
Print and television journalism are very different, and it's not like one is better than the other.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
I wanted to be a cartoonist, and then I wanted to go into film - not as an actor, but as a writer-director - and then I found myself during film school at the University of Southern California listening to the Clarence Thomas hearings in class on my Walkman, and I realized L.A. was not really for me.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
President Obama was not friendly to the press, but the press was very friendly to President Obama.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
I think standing up for facts and decency is important, and we should've done more of it back in 2015 and 2016.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
I generally feel that the solution to speech that people find offensive is more speech. You should talk about it, discuss it.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
As a fan and collector of 'MAD' magazines as a kid, I am well aware that my art is unworthy. I remain in absolute awe of 'MAD' artist Mort Drucker and loved Wally Wood and Harvey Kurtzman and Al Jaffee and Don Martin and Angelo Torres and Peter Kuper and Sergio Aragones.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
Trump is most fun to draw - just a great mash of caricature-able features, from bouffant to eyebrows and scowl, to the high cheekbones and the regal pride.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
It's not empirically wrong to say that Washington isn't working for the American people and Washington does too many things for powerful special interests and it's broken.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
It is empirically indecent to make fun of the disabled... That's just indecent.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
I listen to a lot of criticism. From the Left and the Right and from everywhere. I mean, everybody's a media critic. And sometimes I think it's on point, and other times, I think about it and consider it and then might ultimately disagree with it. But I do listen to it; I really do.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
You write a story, you do a TV show, and if people don't like it, well, you're going to do it again tomorrow.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
A lot of the stuff I blog is either stuff I'm reporting anyway for ABC News internally and figure I might as well put it up on the blog. Or it's stuff I'm just interested in, or I read about it, or I hear about it, and I'm just curious.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
I've always been a ravenous consumer of opinion. When I was in my high school library and my college library, I would read 'National Review' and I would read 'The Nation' and I would read 'The American Spectator' and I would read 'Mother Jones.'
Quote by -Jake Tapper
I'm not a member of a political party, and I feel very, very comfortable being independent. Even if I weren't a journalist - if I were doing whatever - I would be an independent.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
'MAD Magazine' put out a book that was a collection of Trump cartoons, and they asked me to do the forward because they knew that I was a fan because I'd done stories and tweeted about 'MAD.' So I did the forward and asked them if I could do a cartoon. They let me, and I did caricatures of myself and Wolf Blitzer.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
I think there are periods in this country when behavior is abhorrent: McCarthy, Watergate, Bill Clinton. It's just a question of how the checks and balances in the American system work and how leaders stand up to it or don't stand up to it.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
I think that I'm doing my job, and it's nice to be recognized, but I also know that a lot of the people who are happy with me now are not going to be happy with me in four to eight years and that I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
What would McCarthy, what would Nixon, what would Bill Clinton have done if they'd had Twitter?
Quote by -Jake Tapper
The Patriots cheat. This is just a fact as established by investigations. They're a cheating team.
Quote by -Jake Tapper
There are news sources that are just out-and-out lies coming from Europe, coming from other parts of the world.
