Early on, even in college, I figured out that it was just more interesting to me to create content than to write about other people. So that makes it more marketable.

I love sushi, but I'm not going to write a column about it.

When wine drinkers tell me they taste notes of cherries, tobacco and rose petals, usually all I can detect is a whole lot of jackass.

Reporting in general makes me pretty nervous. But I realized: all the amazing work experiences of my life were thanks to reporting. So that forces you to go do it.

Online reaction is very different than real-world reaction.

I think the local food movement has been taken to idiotic extremes. And so I wrote about that and people got pissed.

I always thought that being at Time and tweaking your bosses and exploiting your expense account was just fun. Just joyous.

I'm not that clued into what people are that touchy about and how many of them there are and how niche these niches are.

People are different in different situations and people are different online than they are in real life.

I have a really high bar for being angry. Like, it doesn't even happen every year.

I've gotten thicker skin mostly from being older. You just stop caring quite as much about everything.

Life without flying unconditionally, life with hindered and heartless ending.

I feel like my body is borrowed and this life is very temporary.

Whoever does not detach himself from the ego never attains the Absolute and never deciphers life.

If you have an enemy, do not requite him evil with good, for that would put him to shame. Rather prove that he did you some good.

Travel light, live light, spread the light, be the light.

Coffee is a language in itself.

It's definitely an honour to represent my home country once again in the Commonwealth Games. It is going to be a magical experience and to be considered as a role model is a reward in itself.

Forward, as occasion offers. Never look round to see whether any shall note it.... Be satisfied with success in even the smallest matter, and think that even such a result is no trifle.

We do not count a man's years until he has nothing else to count.

That Bill Clinton. He probably doesn't know how to log on to the Internet.
