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

I believe the consequences of a war are so harsh that it should be always the last resort.

As the only woman, I was able to sit with the officers in front, with a glass of vodka in one hand and a cucumber in the other. That's how I went to my first war.

If my name had not been cleared, it would have been difficult, perhaps impossible, to continue as a journalist.

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

Being a war correspondent, and having covered four wars, I know that wars very seldom solve things.

I think when you start to get afraid, it's time to leave.
