Look for joy in your life; it's not always easy to find.

I think all those people I did stories about measured their own success by the joy their work was giving them.

I don't know what makes a good feature story. I've always assumed that if it was a story that interested or amused me, that it would have the same impact on other people.

It's that enthusiasm, that passion for what you're doing, that is most important.

I think the feature reporter often walks a very thin line between a truly human story and one that slops over into mushiness or sentimentality.

Most of those old settlers told it like it was, rough and rocky. They named their towns Rimrock, Rough Rock, Round Rock, and Wide Ruins, Skull Valley, Bitter Springs, Wolf Hole, Tombstone. It's a tough country. The names of Arizona towns tell you all you need to know.

You never heard anybody ask 'Elvis who?'
