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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
