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.

Early on, even in college, I figured out that it was just more interesting to me to create content than to write about other people. So that makes it more marketable.

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

I try to see what that person is thinking or feeling about that particular day. I just get more of a sense of what that person's like and hopefully it's more interesting than a normal conversation.

There have been people who represent something very symbolic and I've been freaked out interviewing them.

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.
