I got into journalism not to be a journalist but to try to change American foreign policy. I'm a corny person. I was a dreamer predating my journalistic life, so I got into journalism as a means to try to change the world.

My favorite things in life are my children. If somebody wants to understand me, there's no better window into that than my children.

My kids are my salvation.... It's a delight to walk in and get charged by a five-year-old and a two-year-old. That'll make you forget the darkness.

I think Obama is right when he talks about the rule of law as a cornerstone of what the United States should stand for.

My basic feeling about military intervention is that it should be a last resort, undertaken only to stave off large-scale bloodshed.

I believe the United States is the greatest country on Earth. I really do.

Since 9/11, there has been a huge leap in people wanting to get personally involved in public service and international affairs.
