It's these parallel universes when someone you love is sick. Your world is this completely foreign place involving radiation and tumor markers. Outside, people are buying sweaters.

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

~I don't always have a lot of energy, but my kids almost always revitalize me. Of course like any working mom, sometimes I'm guilt-ridden. I think I should be sitting down doing an educational computer game with Carrie or taking Ellie to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. These kids are such sponges, and I should be taking advantage of that.~

What brought me into the TV business is what keeps me here and happy. You can learn something new every day if you have a really positive attitude.

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!

If I hear the word 'perky' again, I'll puke.

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