There is no journalist without opinions, and there's no real objectivity, but we can strive toward it.

Even in a war, someone has to take care of daily life. Someone has to feed and clothe the children.

As a war correspondent, you have to weigh the risk you run against the story you can get.

As a woman, you accept the situation, adapt to it, and do your best, whereas men would choose violence.

I was thinking, there are 5 million people, and I am just one of those 5 million. In the build-up to the war you see children playing in the street, and you think, ah, I'm going to be okay.

If I leave, reality will devour me. Then they will all really be dead.

If you've lived in a dictatorship for thirty years, you're used to people lying to you.
