Anne brings serious journalism to wacky, offbeat New York weirdness. I find her curiosity and openness to adventure completely inspiring. I want to be more like her.

The solutions to society’s problems are at the end of a curious interview.
“Well, I’m gonna get a lot of hell for saying this. I just want to put it out there. I know, I am. This is going to be a something that I might regret saying, but...I think one of the best things to cure self-doubt is just to go to really bad stuff.

Then I had another thought: Physics disgusts me a little bit now, but I used to enjoy doing physics. Why did I enjoy it? I used to play with it.

When I... See more
