Quotes

You have to go where the story is to report on it. As a journalist, you're essentially running to things that other people are running away from
Not to get too deep on shaving my mustache, but it was kind of symbolic of, 'This is a moment of liberation, a chance to reinvent yourself.' That's kind of what I did.
