It's that invasive and puerile curiosity to feed a tabloid culture. I don't subscribe to it.

I think Daily Kos is a really great example of where it's really worked in terms of putting the opinions of a larger group of people forward. And Kos has obviously had a huge impact on politics.

Getting older is fine. There is nothing you can do to stop it so you might as well stay on the bus.

I think my work has become more interesting, well to me anyway.
