I want to find Sheila. I want to hear her say, 'Hey, Boo!' I want to hear from my sister.

If I could have gotten my way at an early age, I would have entered the priesthood, but my mother informed me that I could not become a priest because I was a girl.

anchor colleague feels good somebody
I have a simple rule: when I'm on TV, I'm not talking to just my anchor or my colleague on my right. I'm talking to America. I look into the lens, and in my head, I'm talking to somebody in Nebraska.
