I Don't Want To Be Involved In

It Wasn't Glamorous In My Day. In The Regions, Reporters Were Seen As Such Low Life That They Didn't Merit Their Name In The Radio Times. Now People Are Interested In Being Famous. I Never Gave It A Thought.

I Also Read Modern Novels - I Have Just Had To Read 60 As I Am One Of The Judges For The Orange Fiction Prize.

People Always Seem To Assume That We Have A Full, Back-up Support Team - Make-up, Costume And A Driver - But Usually, In A War Zone, There's Only Me And The Cameraman.

Up Until About 12 Years Ago We Never, Ever, Wore Flak Jacket Or Helmets But Now The Nastiness Has Got Worse.

I Keep Telling Myself To Calm Down, To Take Less Of An Interest In Things And Not To Get So Excited, But I Still Care A Lot About Liberty, Freedom Of Speech And Expression, And Fairness In Journalism.
