[I am enthusiastic about journalism because] it's a craft that can ... galvanize an often complacent citizenry, and make a difference.

Now, if they're there to talk about something specifically, and I determine through my own editorial judgment, that another area isn't germane, or isn't an important part of it, that's something else. But we never agree to anything in advance, absolutely not.

I feel like a human pinata. The disappointing thing is, no candy is going to spill out.

And they like being able to turn on the television day in and day out to see someone that they know and they feel comfortable with and trust hopefully and respect even.

When I made coffee and Xeroxed and distributed newspapers at ABC News, I thought my life was over.

Prepare yourself to be employable.

A boat is always safe in the harbor, but that's not what boats are built for.
