Every corny thing that's said about living with nature - being in harmony with the earth, feeling the cycle of the seasons - happens to be true.

Most writing doesn’t take place on the page; it takes place in your head.

If you had really loved something, wouldn't a little bit of it always linger?

One of my favorite activities as a teen-ager was to watch television over the phone with my best friend.

The one thing I've discovered about social media is that people love answering questions. In fact, it sometimes feels like at any given moment, millions of people are online who have been waiting for exactly the question you fire off.

I really believed that anything at all was worth writing about if you cared about it enough, and that the best and only necessary justification for writing any particular story was that I cared about it.

I love writing traditional magazine pieces, and especially their breadth of reporting and the deliberateness of the writing.
