Tina Brown

It would be like,

Cheney Brown is the buzzy, you know, irreverent editor.

It's like, excuse me, I just published a 30,000-word piece about, you know, an El Salvador atrocity, you know.

And I'm still like the buzzy, like as if I'm some kind of a, you know, can-can dancer or something, you know.

But I've sort of got used to that now.

You hate that word.

I've seen you in your writing say that you just hate that word buzzy.

It's a silly word.

You know, the whole thing about buzz is—

is people are talking about what you've written, okay?

Isn't that what we all want?

You want to land into silence?

You want to publish something into a sort of cosmic darkness out there?

You know?

If I published a magazine and people weren't talking about it, I'd failed, you know?

So, yeah, no, so I...

I sometimes sign my letters the Earth, Wild, Queen and Buzz.

I wish that they would learn something about journalism before they leap in and think that they can.

just simply by journalism and then start to insert themselves.

I mean, I am so bored, frankly, with sort of the uber-rich thinking that just because they're rich, they know everything about everything.
