My inclination, as an old-school, classically trained journalist, is not to go with a story unless I have it hard. It's not good enough to say something based on rumors that were flying around.

My best stories come from well-placed sources who point me in the right direction.

I love covering stories that have huge historic impacts.

I eat right. I exercise. I run 5 miles a day on the treadmill.

I'm a season ticket holder to the Washington Wizards, and I love going to Washington Nationals and Redskins games.

Almost every day I wrap up my two-hour live broadcast and I say to myself as I'm driving home, 'I wish I would've done this' or 'We really should have gone live longer with this segment.

You see a lot over 30 years and you try to be professional and responsible. A lot of the interviews you do can be very haunting.
