If you're in the media, particularly newspapers, you are in the thick of all the interesting things that are going on in a community, and I can't imagine any other life that one would want to dedicate oneself to.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't really live my life in the media spotlight. People don't know that much really about me or what I think.
Everything I do lands in the newspapers.
Being a journalist, being exposed to the world, to social injustice, to intolerance, growing up here, under apartheid, benefitting from that, has all shaped who I am and what my passions are, and of course that's going to come through in my writing.
I get labelled as just being about one thing, but there's lots of layers to what I do. It's just lazy journalism, but people start to accept it. If people spent an hour in my car driving around London and listening to the stuff I listen to, they'd hear some interesting stuff.
My life isn't much different than when I worked full time as a journalist.
I'm not trying to live a social media life or a life to just be in a magazine.
I think of myself as a journalist and a storyteller.
I'm a journalist and author. I make my living by finding things out and writing about them.
I don't spend most of my life in front of the media.
We live in a time where the media is a very difficult thing to navigate because it's everywhere, and I tend to want to be a lot more private with my life.
