Anyone with a gun can go out and commit an act of terrorism, even without a political affiliation.

We have to confront the very scary fact that the president is a moron. He’s really dumb.

I think there’s a lot of good and bad to L.A. One of the things you have to consider is that you can, if you’re lucky, make a decent living here. That’s a big plus. That’s pretty positive. The weather is OK.

I cannot be made into the commentator for the unspoken black masses.

It may sound weird, but I don’t really look for culture, particularly in an American city.

And I’m not so in love with making people mad that I want to live my life around it.

I want the news delivered unbiased. I thought that was the whole point with journalism.

One, I push my deadlines closer than anybody else, or let’s say it this way: I’m really late.

My car is my best friend. My office. My home. My location. I have a very intimate sense when I am in a car with someone next to me. We’re in the most comfortable seats because we’re not facing each other, but sitting side by side.
