Growing up in Ohio and just being kind of an average guy from flyover country - my dad was a factory guy - I try to put things on a screen that reflect reality. I don't mind if people want to argue with that, or think that's crazy.

My job is to cover the news and do it accurately and fair. And we do.

My toughest job every day is maintaining intensity with myself and with my staff.

Van Jones has one job: to stir up racism, whether he can find it or not.

I've always liked working with friends or, you know, people I have outside relationships with.

What I find so interesting about people is the choices they make, and how that effects their behavior, their sense of self and their relationships.

Maybe having to pretend to be in love with someone and then jump into bed with them breaks the ice very quickly; friendship follows fast.

As soon as you start feeling like you can't trust the person and you need to check his phone or have his Facebook password or look through his messages - as soon as that trust barrier is broken - it's hard to keep a relationship going after that.
