The way I live is really me.

I don't personally feel that I have to save democracy and journalism.

I care deeply about journalism, but we need to be a business.

I don't feel like my job is to be beloved.

People assume that I came back to Washington because of the Post, but the truth is less romantic. I came back for a job.

We're no longer a newspaper in the morning, we're a 24/7 newspaper organization.

My grandmother knew J.F.K. and L.B.J. That was her world. I enjoy meeting interesting people. But that's not my world.

Part of my job is to make the tough calls.

Moderate to conservative Democrat. But I'm not going to impose my views on the editorial page.

It's not like I pretend the past doesn't exist or that I'm not proud to be a part of it.
