The more you lecture those running the companies on how they need to give more breaks to women or other minority groups and be more open-minded to their work products and perhaps question themselves on a double standard, the more some of those people shut down to your messaging. I'm not saying it's right; I'm just saying you can very easily get labeled as someone who sees everything through a prism of race or gender or what have you. So we have to walk a fine line. It's sad but it's the truth.

I'm used to politicians being angry with me, you know, because I don't work for them. I work for my viewers.

The reason to have more racial diversity on any team is because it's helpful to have different perspectives on any issue. And I also believe that. It's easier said than done, unfortunately.

I was brought up in an environment to believe that my opinion was important, that I had something to say, and that it was no less powerful because I was young, a girl, at the time really unattractive, definitely not the smartest kid in the class.

I don't see myself as some television star, I see myself as a girl from Albany.

Just because it makes you feel uncomfortable doesn't mean it has to change.

I think you can look at a woman's legs while she delivers the news and still take her seriously.
