I understand why people might be interested. But I just don't talk about my personal life. It's a decision I made a long time ago, before I ever even knew anyone would be interested in my personal life.
As long as a journalist shows fairness and honesty in his or her work, their private life shouldn't matter.
When I was younger, I talked to the adults around me that I respected most about how they got where they were, and none of them plotted a course they could have predicted, so it seemed a waste of time to plan too long-term. Since then, I've always gone on my instincts.
You guys should know we do [ cover Obamacare, and ISIS, and radical Islamic terrorism] because you watch CNN all day long.
I see the show. I don't see anything funny about it. It's just me with my family, at home,
You do what's in your gut- if you've been doing it long enough, what's in your gut will be appropriate.
I can't imagine going back. I'm going to have to at some point, but I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know.
I am listening to people's questions and getting answers. I am least of all interested in any TV anchor's opinion, and least of all my own.
I wouldn't call it looting. What I have seen is desperate people kind of wandering around here in downtown Gulfport. There are a lot of police here in Gulfport, so you can't get away with looting. But I have seen people picking stuff up from the wreckage. I saw a man with two bottles of olive oil. He was hoping to try to cook something up. He says he has no water. He doesn't really have much of a place to go. So there are a lot of people just desperately in need.
I don't feel like I'm doing anything different.
She's still out there. There are rats roaming around, and I wonder if no one knows who this woman is and where her family is.
We talk to mothers holding babies, some of these babies three-, four-, five-months-old, living in horrible conditions.
There is nothing sadder to see people who lived a good decent life dead on the side of the road. I used to go overseas to report on that but now I'm doing it at home.
It's not happening, they're nowhere near the airport.
