My job is to get to the heart of a story, to find out what's really going on; to get it verified and, then, to get it out to as many people as possible as fast as.

I have never been attracted to any kind of violence.

The better the information it has, the better democracy works. Silence and secrecy are never good for it.

I don't want to be involved in endless media gossip.

If I'm in danger then it's usually my fault and it's up to me to get myself out of it. I am not in it just to get an adrenalin rush. No way!

No two wars are identical.

I've never been one to sit around and eat my heart out. Life's too short.
