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.

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!

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

I sailed through my childhood with a complete lack of any drama.

Having had loving people who brought me up, and then I find another set of people. That really is a double blessing.

I wrote in the book very specifically what I wanted to write about, period, and left it at.

I have nothing to do with the selection of stories. I'm the reporter.
