I've learned that sometimes when people don't like what you have to say, and don't want to debate you on ideas, it's just easier to call you a dumb blonde from Fox News.

Forcing victims of sexual harassment into secret arbitration proceedings is wrong because it means that nobody ever finds out what really happened.

I'm a big believer in always challenging yourself and learning new skills.

Trust is the most important aspect of being a journalist. If people don't trust or find you relatable - you will not have success.

We expect teachers to handle teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, and the failings of the family. Then we expect them to educate our children.

What I really want, and what I never get - is to be appreciated.

When a country is at war we want Congressmen, regardless of party, to back up the government of the United States.

Donald Trump is a fool, but he is not free to be a dangerous fool in Britian.

'The Blade Itself' was my first book. Probably I should've tried a few short stories first, but for some reason I decided to begin with Everest.

A strategy that doesn't take into account resources is doomed to failure.

A chess tournament disguised as a circus.

Some people procrastinate so much that all they can do is run around like firefighters all day - putting out fires that should not have gotten started in the first place.

Everybody who's been on television more than once wears in public an expression of fatuous affability. Because you may be addressed at any moment by somebody.

As long I still have a breath left in me I will dedicate myself fully to China’s reform.
