News events cannot be controlled, nor can newscasts be mapped out like entertainment shows.

In real life, events seem much less dramatic.

Anyone who writes an autobiographical work at the age of 34 is, at best, presumptuous. It occurred to me that it was time to set the record straight.

The bad news is that 50 people died in a hotel fire; the good news is that we got exclusive footage.

Although I was entirely relaxed on camera, if I had to stand up and say something to an assembled group of people, I was rendered all but inarticulate.

The latest wrinkle is on wrinkles. There is a widespread belief that women can't grow old in television news.

Every time I am in danger of believing the glamour of my own press, some incident inevitably brings me back to earth.
