If you're curious, you'll probably be a good journalist because we follow our curiosity like cats.

I'm always fascinated by the way memory diffuses fact.

I've always found a cure for the blues is wandering into something unknown, and resting there, before coming back to whatever weight you were carrying.

I love the early process of asking questions about a story and deciding which questions matter most.

I've always been curious. I keep a list of people I'd love to have lunch with, like the Pope or Leonard Cohen. I'll read an article about someone I've never met and think, 'I should ask him to lunch!'

American Idol, I love. I think it's a passing fancy but not passing so soon.

I think there's a point at which you know how you dress isn't going to affect how much you do in life.
