I come from a place where we feel like we're not represented in the national media.

We don't communicate in full sentences anyway. We don't need all those words.

I’m a journalist; I run to the fire, that’s what we do.

I like stories that affect families.

I've never been in a focus-group meeting. I wonder how many anchors can say that.

I need to keep my story count high. I'm trying to get as many stories in my hour as is humanly possible. We're telling more stories in our hour than any national newscast has in the history of this business, I think.

I'm fortunate enough not to be poor, and I'm not a bad tipper.
