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

I was timid and frightened as a child. Yours truly did not shin up mountains or do any other kind of adventurous stuff.

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

Now children as young as nine carry AK47s which can kill 30 people in seconds.

War zones are dangerous, protests can be violent, also, natural disasters are difficult to cover, so there are going to be risks.
