Diane Sawyer on being a powerful witness

"You have to believe your first job is to be a powerful witness," she said in the article, describing her recent time in Haiti. "I say powerful in the sense that there are 500 people in front of you who need water, and all you want to do is drop everything and go get them water. But you have to remember your job is to help get water for 5 million people--for your heart will soon break if you don't believe that you can do something for everybody. You say to yourself, 'I will turn your pain into purpose. I will try to turn your pain into a fulcrum that moves the world to help.'"
