I can't imagine what someone would write that would infuriate me. Maybe if my loved one had died of some disease and someone was insensitive, that would piss me off.

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

I hate walking up to strangers.

I think the local food movement has been taken to idiotic extremes. And so I wrote about that and people got pissed.

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

I've learned over time that every editor has told me when you're getting that much hate, you don't talk about it. You just kind of don't give it oxygen and let it go away. It's almost - not always, but almost - always the best policy.

What I wound up doing, which I think is really journalistically dubious, is changing the order of some of the things I did, so that the things I ended up struggling with the most wind up being two-thirds of the way in.
