I've always loved reporting from the field most of all. There's something about doing live TV and being there as it happens that's always appealed to me. I think there's great value to bearing witness to these events as they're actually happening.

As I was reading the book [Superficial: More Adventures from the Andy Cohen Diaries] I kept thinking, "Sweetie, you are dancing as fast as you can!"

The thing I love about reporting is being able to blend in with any group, whether that's neo-Nazis or pedophiles.

If I'm hip, we've got a problem in this country. I really shouldn't be held up as any model of hipness. If anything, I think I'm sort of old school in my approach to objective reporting and not wearing my opinion on my sleeve. There's a lot of that in American TV news these days. Too much, in fact.

I graduated in 1989, and I'd focused almost entirely on the Soviet Union and communism ... so when the Berlin wall fell, I was, well, I was screwed.

In my opinion, the ability to love another person is one of God's greatest gifts, and I thank God every day for enabling me to give and share love with the people in my life.

I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn't be more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud.
