I think the show does better with newsmakers and politicians than it does with actors.

Sometimes you're just interviewing someone and you're thinking the entire time, How can I get through this really quickly? Because I know this isn't gonna make it. This person is either too long-winded or deathly boring, or they don't have the point of view that supports what you're trying to do in the piece. Or often people misrepresent themselves on the phone - what they're willing to say to you then, they're not willing to say in person.

It's great when you have people who will speak passionately and honestly about what they are doing.

I don't feel intimidated by any of the people I'm talking to or the situations I find myself in. I just try to make my nana proud.

I dislike Ted Cruz as much as the next everyone. But that's no reason to be rude to Ted's loving wife and possible hostage.

You need to be able to agree from time to time if we're going to get anywhere. Once you have started a civil dialogue, it's a much smoother road to compromise. The key thing to remember is it's a daily practice.

As a viewer myself, I tend to gravitate toward projects that have a really strong voice of a strong creator.
