I'm a storyteller; that's what exploration really is all about. Going to places where others haven't been and returning to tell a story they haven't heard before.

One of the exciting things about reporting is going to places you've never been to before.

It's about stories. If I can tell the story to America, whether it's Riesling or a boxer from Harlem, it will sell. I know on my gravestone it's going to be, 'Storyteller.'

I wanted to tell my story in a way I haven't done before, things I've been going through in my life.

Any direct experience that I have with indigenous peoples and their plights may feed into the nature of the story I choose to tell. In fact, it almost certainly will.

Nigeria is like everywhere, really: there are some beautiful places that have been invested in and others that haven't been.
