All three networks have always had a morning show but now cable of course is taking some of that audience away and a variety of other things, probably the Internet as well.

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 knew I had to be a journalist because I'm deeply curious about the world.

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.

Obviously I love doing newsmaker interviews, and if I can contribute in any way to that, I would love to. I love reporting, getting out in the field and talking to people about various issues.

They see us interacting with people, they see us doing serious interviews, they see us having fun, and when you're conversing with someone, you get a much clearer impression of who that person is than if they are just reading into a news piece.

I think it's dangerous if your goal in life is to get the other guy, then you're not going to be doing a really quality job yourself
