I think about Syria when I go to bed at night.

We have an interest in combating tactics in war that are abhorrent and that only fuel terrorism because they incite people on the ground.

I joke that I spent 38 years scouring the globe, going to war zones, trying to find the person with my exact birthday.

I was interning in the CBS sports affiliate in Atlanta with Robin Roberts.... I was taking notes on a Braves-Padres game, and on the live feed came footage of these kids protesting and getting crushed during the Tiananmen Square uprising in China in 1989. In that moment I became like a lot of young people in this country today, horrified and inspired but confused as to what I might do.

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.

International institutions are composed of governments. Governments control their own military forces and police.

You could be in the United Nations office all night every night and still feel like you were not making a sufficient dent in the world's problems. I think the key is prioritization. But every job presents the tyranny of the inbox, of allowing the urgent to crowd out the important. So we have to have our lodestars.
