Nobody can assume that, to a writer, everything is off-limits.

So I wonder if anything should ever be off limits.

I don't think limits.

Writing fiction, there are no limits to what you write as long as it increases the value of the paper you are writing on.

I think as journalists, we have to keep our distance from power.

As a journalist for 35 years, and now author for 20, I've learned that there's always more.

I'm not strong-willed enough or unkind enough... or maybe simply not wise enough to tell a journalist that a subject is out of bounds.

Everyone has limits. You just have to learn what your own limits are and deal with them accordingly.
