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

I never desired to go into war zones. I never had any thought about it. It sort of just happened as part of the job.

Up until about 12 years ago we never, ever, wore flak jacket or helmets but now the nastiness has got worse.

There was no equal pay law when I started working. I was no different to any other woman in any other job at the time.

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

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.

No two wars are identical.
