I'm not a go-in-for-the-kill kind of interviewer. It's a great thing to me, that kind of interviewer, but I'm not it. It doesn't play to my strengths at all. I like to interview people who are interested in telling their story and tell it as truthfully as they can.
I'm a terrible interviewer. I'm not a journalist - although I have a Peabody Award - and I'm not really a late-night host. What I am is honest.
I dont think I ever wanted to be a journalist - I was more interested in what comes from being a journalist.
I don't think I ever wanted to be a journalist - I was more interested in what comes from being a journalist.
The one thing that shaped my life was when I was 15 or 16: I knew I wanted to be a journalist. And not just a journalist, but a journalist in the Middle East, and to go back to the Arab world and try to understand what it meant to be Lebanese.
The accident was a horrible thing - but that horrible thing made Chris, at the end of his life, Superman. It's a happy irony if there is such a thing. I'm proud to have known him.

If your interviewer makes small talk with you, then be chatty back.
I knew I had to be a journalist because I'm deeply curious about the world.
I'm curious about people. That's what I've always done since I've been a small boy. I'm curious about others.
If you're curious, you'll probably be a good journalist because we follow our curiosity like cats.
Interviewer: "What keeps you grounded?" Bieber: "Gravity." Interviewer: "What's up, Justin?" Bieber: "The sky, man."
I think I was able to endure risks not because I was ambitious about great stories but I was curious as a journalist.
If you're a journalist - and I think, on some level, I'm a journalist, and proud to be a journalist, or a documentarian, however you want to describe it - part of what I do has to be the pursuit of the truth.
They are this horrible thing where you are distorted. The chin is too big, the head is too small. No, this is electronic masturbation.
As an online journalist, newswire journalist, newspaper writer, I wrote every day. My whole thing was, 'I have to write and report and write every day.' That was my thing.
