My life isn't always at risk, even if I'm in a war zone. A lot of these places have areas of calm, so covering war doesn't necessarily mean being shot at all the time.

Often, the pretexts for starting a war are not real shortages of land, food or fuel, but rather perceptions - like fear, honor and perceived self-interest.

I don't go to war for the adrenaline rush. I cover wars because that's what I've ended up doing.

I've been to war, and I know the consequences and sacrifice it takes. If we must fight, we fight to win.

After all the sacrifice in Afghanistan and Iraq, why do we find ourselves in a more dangerous world?

We have to go in places no body would ever think of going into were it not for the necessities of war.

I've been to war, and it's not easy to kill. It's bloody and messy and totally horrifying, and the consequences are serious.

It is a grave matter to enter a war, without adequate military preparation; it may prove fatal to come into peace, without moral and religious preparation.

I'm pretty sure I'm not at war with myself.
