Yes, last year we hit a record number of murders from guns [in Chicago]. And this year we are already outpacing last year's numbers. Now, there are contributing factors that are not under anybody's control and may seem odd, but it is factually true. One of them is actually the weather. There is a dramatic increase in gun violence when it is warmer. And we are having this climate change effect that is driving that.

I think in terms of what I am able to accomplish and build.

Well, I grew up around the magazine and was part of a generation that was embracing our sexuality.

I had higher math SATs than in English - yet I became an English major in college.

I expected to go into journalism or law.

My mother thinks I could have even run a larger company.
