I think it's particularly fun not being a full-time showbiz reporter because you still have the 'Oh, wow!' factor when you go out on the red carpet and there are these big stars that are standing there. But if you're doing this day in and day out, it becomes a little blase.

I'm going to introduce you to a revolutionary thought - you can go slower and get there quicker. And that's to do with flow.

It meant the flow of the traffic was better, there were less accidents, less deaths, I think that's an important factor.
John Prescott
The pull, the attraction of history, is in our human nature. What makes us tick? Why do we do what we do? How much is luck the deciding factor?
David McCullough
I enjoy watching Fear Factor, Newlyweds and American Idol as far as reality TV shows go.
