When I went to Bosnia, I was there to tell someone else's story and I was more methodical.

Bosnia is under my skin. It's the place you cannot leave behind. I was obsessed by the nightmare of it all; there was this sense of guilt, and an anger that has become something much deeper over these last years.

I had my life threatened by Bosnian Serbs on numerous occasions.

The one indication that I got that I was doing the right job in Bosnia was that at different periods of time all the factions came down very hard on me.

I never wanted an independent Bosnia. I wanted Yugoslavia. That is my country.

I've had much nastier things said about me in the British press than in the Bosnian press.

There's probably one more story about Bosnia that I'd like to do, because I spent a fair amount of time on the Serb side of the lines, which isn't apparent in the other books.

I'm not just another bimbo.

If it wasn't for the military I probably would not have ever come to Bosnia for vacation.

I don't think that what's going on in Bosnia is political activity. It's partly political, but it's partly atavistic as well.
