I think everyone has their own style in journalism. Look, I'm a girl from the South! Sometimes I laugh. Someone can pejoratively call it giggling. But if you look at the body of my work, I ask lots of hard questions and break a lot of hard news.

I think its naive to think you can push yourself as hard as someone else can push you, but I work really hard on my own. I know my body.

I am a huge fan of using social media to connect with people because I think there was this 'ivory tower' aspect of journalism where people might read a byline for years but have no idea about the person who was behind it and never get to communicate with them or ask them a question.

Being a mother of two myself - and two small girls - I think that single parenting is hard.

I think if you're forthright and answer a lot of questions, sometimes you'll get people who won't let you answer the questions, and that makes for a difficult answer.

I think part of the problem sometimes is that there's so much happening in my books, to whittle it down into a single script is hard.
