I can't say that I've changed anybody's life, ever, and that's the real work of the world, if you want a better society.

I don't have any well-developed philosophy about journalism. Ultimately it is important in a society like this, so people can know about everything that goes wrong.

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

For a while there, I was a stringer. The expression comes from the old habit of stringing together the column inches that you had written. They'd measure it and pay you 10 cents an inch for your printed copy.
