Diversity is essential to the success of the news industry, and journalists must include diverse voices in their coverage in order to reach a broader audience. We have stories to tell, but many in our audience have stopped listening because they can tell that we're not talking about them.
I wanted it to be as readable as possible. I had the ambition of reaching a broader audience.
I think a broader audience is really amazing. If there's no need for curse words or darkness, why go there? Why not make it PG?
There was nothing wrong with having teen-age fans, but we were hoping to appeal to a much broader audience than the 13-to 17-year-olds.

I've met some smart people doing security work in the government, and they're starting to reach out to a broader audience, which I think is a good thing.
I am really interested in the idea that art can reach wider, can go further, can go beyond the art world, why not? People are intelligent, people are visually intelligent, and why shouldn't the work be able to engage some of that?
Everything we're doing means there is a much bigger audience that we can reach.
