I'm surrounded by such beautiful, creative people, and I just love sort of sharing their stories and their journeys.

I tell the stories that are of interest to me.

I have not lost any of my crazy, fearless, raw, soulful, eclectic side and I plan on continuing to tell universal stories in an unforgettable way.

Great storytellers in the past would go to an unknown land and return to tell the stories they've found. Those were also journeys into their inner psyches and that's still true today. An actor, a writer, does that as if saying, 'Here's what I've discovered about myself and about the world I'm in. I would like to share this with you.'

I'm really into the idea of telling stories. Everyone needs stories. Everyone needs to escape every once in a while.

It's true to say that once I've got the bare bones of a story, I often get ideas from my own research trips to faraway places.

I think any journalist who spends time in a place realizes that there are lots of stories around beyond their primary story. You meet so many interesting people and have all kinds of experiences.

I prefer to surprise myself as I'm writing. I'm not interested in it if I already know where it's going. So I have only the most general sense of what I'm doing when I start a story. I sometimes have a destination in mind, but how the story is going to go from Point A to Point Z is something I make up as I go along.

My stories are often a little mysterious.
