I'm of Arab background.

We got the vote, which we should've been born with, in 1920. Everything we've had to struggle for - it's ridiculous.

I censored myself for 50 years when I was a reporter. Now I wake up and ask myself, 'Who do I hate today?'

I'm a liberal, I was born a liberal, and I will be a liberal 'til the day I die.

Everyone with a cell phone thinks they're a photographer. Everyone with a laptop thinks they're a journalist. But they have no training, and they have no idea of what we keep to in terms of standards, as in what's far out and what's reality. And they have no dedication to truth.

I've always felt privileged to cover the White House and to have that ringside seat to history

I have a background and an understanding of what's happened in the Middle East that a lot of people don't have, because there's been no interest.
