I read once, which I loved so much, that this great physicist who won a Nobel Prize said that every day when he got home, his dad asked him not what he learned in school but his dad said, 'Did you ask any great questions today?' And I always thought, what a beautiful way to educate kids that we're excited by their questions, not by our answers and whether they can repeat our answers.

I have a liberal definition of news because I think news can be what excites people. I'm not very sanctimonious about what news is and isn't.

A good marriage is a contest of generosity.

Every time somebody tries to go in and reinvent what we do, it always ends up being more about technology and sets, and flash and dash, forgetting the main thing, which is interesting people saying interesting, important things.

If you're curious, you'll probably be a good journalist because we follow our curiosity like cats.

A criticism is just a really bad way of making a request...so just make the request.

I'm always fascinated by the way memory diffuses fact.
