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.

A fundamental lesson on being fired: Never lie about it. People will know what you're saying is a cover-up for how you really feel - embarrassed, discouraged, and afraid.

Don't make your journey through life harder by placing rules on yourself like, 'I can't get married till I get promoted to your dream job.'

Often I feel like I can run forever. If someone told me I had to run for 10 hours, I probably could.

I absolutely tore George W. Bush to shreds, despite the fact I knew the guy personally and I actually campaigned for him in 2000. It's our job to just call it like we see it whether these people are our friends or not.

I've worked with Ed Bradley, Dan Rather and lots of different local news anchors.
