Someday perhaps I'll have to get a grownup job... but for now I'm having too much fun being a reporter.

Well, one of the things I discovered in the course of looking back and writing about what I saw in my memory is that I was a closely observant person long before I became a reporter.

I am the world's worst reporter. I am apt to try too hard to help rather than just document my subjects.

My only advantage as a reporter is that I am so physically small, so temperamentally unobtrusive, and so neurotically inarticulate that people tend to forget that my presence runs counter to their best interests.

I have nothing to do with the selection of stories. I'm the reporter.

It's astonishing what you learn and feel and see along the way. That's why a reporter's job, as you know, is such a joy.

I used to be a print reporter.

I always like to have a buffer between me and journalism in general. Not just a reporter, but journalism.
