“After you have loss in your life and after you experience something like losing your parents, the greatest gift of that was it prepared me for [anything].

It's heavy stuff, but it's enlightening because it makes me think I shouldn't be afraid of sharing ideas and thoughts with people. It's the yin and the yang of life.”

“[Electronic newspapers will bring] plenty of ulcers for journalists because they'll have new deadlines every 60 seconds. It'll be a race to file.
