I definitely pack coffee if I'm going someplace where it might not be available. When I went to Afghanistan in 2011, I brought a bunch of instant coffee. I didn't need to do that, of course, because army people drink industrial-strength coffee and have it going 24/7.

I've conditioned myself to believe that almonds are a completely delicious snack, and that they don't taste like paper or get stuck in the back of my mouth.

My back isn't great.

I think standing up for facts and decency is important, and we should've done more of it back in 2015 and 2016.

I still think of myself as a Philadelphian. I still root for the Philadelphia teams. Other than my house, I still feel most at home in terms of cities when I'm in Philly.

It's not empirically wrong to say that Washington isn't working for the American people and Washington does too many things for powerful special interests and it's broken.

My kids are good artists, and they do a pretty good version of Dad in their caricatures.

I'm trying to spend less time with the phone when the kids are awake in general. I need to get better about that. It's a perennial New Year's resolution.

We've gone through many different permutations of coffee-making, from grinding our own beans to the regular drip to an iced coffee maker.

Print and television journalism are very different, and it's not like one is better than the other.

Actors are tough because they're not used to challenging questions - other than from paparazzi. And so you just ask one perfectly legitimate question, but one that they're not comfortable answering, and all of a sudden they look at you, and you're the paparazzi.

You know what takes effort? Being kind, being patient, being respectful, telling someone how you feel politely instead of just avoiding them for six weeks.
