In one's relationship with dogs and with a newsroom, a generous amount of praise and encouragement goes much better than criticism.

What I hold dear is well-known to all of my colleagues. And, really, The Times is the kind of place, the greatest journalism doesn't just pop forth from our heads. It's, you know, a group of people, and the great ideas bubble up from the reporters to their editors and get to us.

I have an older sister who sounds, unfortunately, exactly like me, and we sound like our mother did.

You know, a dog can snap you out of any kind of bad mood that you're in faster than you can think of.

Women are damn resilient.

I think the Huffington Post has been inventive and presents what it aggregates well.

If The Times said it, it was the absolute truth.
