A good marriage is a contest of generosity.

I have a liberal definition of news because I think news can be what excites people. I'm not very sanctimonious about what news is and isn't.

Competition is easier to accept if you realize it is not an act of oppression or abrasion-I've worked with my best friends in direct competition.

If you're curious, you'll probably be a good journalist because we follow our curiosity like cats.

My dad, I still think, had the most beautiful, simple checklist for what you should do in life: Do something you really love that you would do it anyway. Do it in the most adventurous place you can do it. And make sure that it helps other people. And if you feel there's a genuine need for it, and that through that need you can help other people, you're home.

Whenever you are blue or lonely or stricken by some humiliating thing you did, the cure and the hope is in caring about other people.

I so believe in the fact that we are somehow born to love the truth
