I want to tell you how much I miss my mother. Bits of her are still there. I miss her most when I'm sitting across from her.

As someone who is in awe and grateful every day to be in a country where freedom of the press, free speech and free elections are a way of life, I am wowed, amazed and excited by the opportunity to moderate a 2012 presidential debate.

Usually you kind of give the President a pass on leaking confidential stuff.

I'm lighter now in a lot of ways.

Don't plan too hard, because something much better might be out there.

Its important to know what motivates you, not what motivates somebody else.

I think in losing we find out who that person really is.
