I'm not that clued into what people are that touchy about and how many of them there are and how niche these niches are.

Being in New York and having worked at Time Out New York and then being at Time, living in New York for a long time has helped because I know everybody. And they're the people who call me and give me jobs. So that kind of real networking, which is just living in a place and having jobs where people around you are extremely successful, has helped me tremendously.

People are different in different situations and people are different online than they are in real life.

I don't like to be in the forest. It's a weird thing. I've learned to have a general appreciation for nature, which has taken a while. But the forest, I still don't really love.

I've definitely written people e-mails telling them I've loved their stories, but that seems more like a professional journalist thing to do.

You really, really have to care about animals to want to kill one. You have to learn all this stuff about them and start thinking like them.

I wish I'd legitimately talked about some painful moments in my life where I felt insufficient as a kid.
