I was never a good student. I had to be dragged into kindergarten. It was hard to sit and listen to somebody talk. I wanted to be out, educated by experience and adventure, and I didn't know how to express that.

I am passionate. I am political about my country, about what it is, how strong it is, how strong it remains.

Any time I saw people treated unfairly because of race, creed, whatever - it struck a nerve.

I've always wanted to try new things because it's exciting and it keeps you active and alive.

I'm not a facelift person. I am what I am.

Journalism has changed tremendously because of the democratization of information. Anybody can put something up on the Internet. It's harder and harder to find what the truth is.

I'm not good at compromise.
