More From Robert Caro
- "I don’t think of my books as being biographies. I never had any interest in doing a book just to write the life of a great man. I had zero interest in that. My interest is in power. How power works."
- "The ballet embodies the notes of music. And sometimes you almost feel like you can see the notes dance up there on the stage."
- "If you really want to show power in its larger aspects, you need to show the effects on the powerless, for good or ill – the human cost of public works. That’s what I try to do, show not only how power works but its effect on people."

- "The way I look at it, everything is a trade. You acquire some money, so then you’ve got no financial burdens, but everyone wants your money and so who can you trust? Or you’ve got no money and you can trust anyone, but then you’ve got the worry to pay bills. Which is worse?"― Matt LeBlanc
