Changing the world doesn't happen all at once. It isn't a big bang. It's an evolution, the sum of a billion tiny sparks. And some of those sparks will have to come from you.

You know, you've got serious pieces, you've got light pieces, you've got cooking segments, you've got health-related topics, so it's not as if they've had a unique personality from the get-go.

I could announce one morning that the world was going to blow up in three hours and people would be calling in about my hair!

I hope I have a little talent, but a lot of it was luck. I went through setbacks. People said I looked too young, people said I wasn't good, nobody said, 'Come here, baby, we're going to make you a star.' Early on, when I'd say, 'Can I do some anchoring?' people would look at me like I was crazy.

I don't always have a lot of energy, but my kids almost always revitalize me.

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

I've always tried to stay true to my authentic self.
