After being let go from CBS and looking for a year for work, I will never catch myself complaining about being too busy.

My salary situation at 'Morning Joe' wasn't right. I made five attempts to fix it, then realized I'd made the same mistake every time: I apologised for asking.

I have mugs of hot water every morning because the studio is cold, and also because it makes my throat sound clearer.

We have to stop judging people who are struggling with their weight.

I was fired at the pinnacle of my career, on my 39th birthday. And in the year that followed, I learned that there are many psychological phases of being 'let go.'

At almost forty years old, I assumed my career on camera was over. And I was certainly given that message by all the TV managers and news directors who passed on me when I was trying to get a job back in the business.

My parents found me very difficult to educate.
