I dont feel like my job is to be beloved.

I dont personally feel that I have to save democracy and journalism.

Hillary Clinton famously talked about how raising a child takes a village. Except our society isn't set up that way. We're organized in nuclear units, and a single mom can ask her friends only so many times for help picking up the kids.

I think I felt like a regular kid. Growing up in New York, I never felt I was a big deal.

My mother doesn't cook; my grandmother didn't cook. Her kids were raised by servants. They would joke about Sunday night dinner. It was the only night she would cook, and apparently it was just horrendous, like scrambled eggs and Campbell's soup.

I dont feel like my job is to be beloved.

People assume that I came back to Washington because of the Post, but the truth is less romantic. I came back for a job.
