I would be at home reading, because I felt so disconnected from humanity.

I don't read "letters" sections of magazines, but I'll read anyone's blog post about me.

The fun thing about journalism is if you go do a story about something, you can now ask three intelligent questions about it. Or say three intelligent things. And that gets people talking.

With a Q&A, you need obviously to keep it snappy.

When wine drinkers tell me they taste notes of cherries, tobacco and rose petals, usually all I can detect is a whole lot of jackass.

I can't explain why I don't read comments. Maybe because I worked at Time for so long and they don't have them, so I keep forgetting that they're there.

I always thought that being at Time and tweaking your bosses and exploiting your expense account was just fun. Just joyous.
