I spent most of my life from 24 to 31 at the office. I wasn't going to people's weddings; I wasn't cultivating my marriage. I wasn't happy.

I was popular, and I enjoyed that, and my mother kept telling me I better take typing so I'd have something to fall back on. I didn't know what the future held, but once I got my law degree, I started to feel like, 'OK, I'm a serious person.'

I see it as this: I send my kids to school not only to learn how to read and write and do math, but also to develop socially. So if there's a negative interaction between my child and another child, what I want to know is, how was it handled, what lessons came out of it, and, of course, is my child okay?

The relative lack of power of certain minority groups, and the fear they're feeling in the wake of Donald Trump's election, is something I think we really need to take a look at.

I felt the call to this industry because I enjoy broadcast journalism. I'm steeped in the news because I enjoy the news - I like reading papers; I like reading the blogs. I love talking to newsmakers and pundits, for that matter, about their opinions. I'm an information gatherer by nature, so that's what attracted me about this industry.

Why can't there be an acknowledgment that, in some instances, women remove themselves from the workforce for a long time, and when they come back, of course they're not going to get exactly equal pay?

I would be lying if I said it wasn't cool to see myself on the cover of 'Vanity Fair,' right? It's, like, what am I doing there? This is bizarre.

You can't just coast along. You need to be extraordinary. If you want a promotion or a raise, ask yourself, 'How can I behave in a way to get my boss to believe I deserve one?'

I'm not going to say how I vote... I love that people make these assumptions about you because you work at Fox... That's my job: to be contrarian, to push people.

I can give anyone a hard time.

I knew Andrew Breitbart very well, and he was great. I loved him. He was a true provocateur who would be fun about it, you know.

I think the most effective managers in the world have a team that wants to jump through brick walls for them.

I did not grow up with a silver spoon in my mouth.

I think people have an idea of what Fox News is. If people don't watch Fox News, then it's just a caricature, it's not real, they have it in their heads that it's something very different than what it actually is.

I was badly bullied when I was in the seventh grade - relentlessly, mercilessly - by a group of 12-year-old girls. And it left me with a determination that no matter what, I had to throw my shoulders back, stick out my chin, and project a sense that no one and nothing could hurt me. That turned out to be a life-changing mistake.

I don't understand these politicians who want to be president and complain when they get a tough interview.

What should matter is whether I stand for female empowerment, and I don't think there are many women out there who have any doubts about that.

What I don't like is talking points.

You have to understand that Roger Ailes was a king. He was on the cover of multiple industry publications as the most powerful man in news. And at Fox News, there was no one else with power. So you didn't want to get on the wrong side of him because he was actually beloved inside the building and very well-liked in the industry.

My dad died of a heart attack when I was 15. I was bullied mercilessly in middle school. I went through a divorce - those not-so-great things are all a part of me, and they give me a place to go when I cover those stories on the news. I'm more empathetic, more relatable because of them.

I never felt that I had the natural intellectual gifts that the people who graduate first in their class from Harvard Law had.

Television is a service, but it's also a business.

I have respect for my fellow journalists at the other networks, and I wish them all well. This is a tough business, so good for them.

I'm the worst tweeter ever. I don't know what I'm doing. I really don't.

I'm a struggling guitar player.

Men should have more time with their newborn babies.

The truth is I don't watch a lot of news, except for when I'm here at the office watching Fox News. I get my news online primarily when I'm not watching the channel.

I don't even watch Fox News usually in the prime time hours because I'm home with my kids and that's more important to me.

Television can be a very fickle place.

As a lawyer, I could engage in killer litigation with the best of them. It was war, after all.

When I went to law school, which I put myself through for $100,000 dollars of debt, I didn't expect anybody to pay for my health insurance, which I had none of. No health insurance.

Typically, you get a year in prison for making a threat to assassinate the president.

I still don't consider myself a fashion girl.

Before I got into TV, I wasn't fashionable at all.

If you're wearing a pair of shoes that's a little flashy, then it's important not to be flashy up top and vice versa.

I'm not a barbarian.

Just because you might have a sparring match on the air doesn't mean there's any personal animosity.

You know, I was not an attractive child - I never had a cute face.

Obviously, I'm in a visual business, and people will talk to me about my appearance.

I'm steeped in the news because I enjoy the news - I like reading papers, I like reading the blogs, I love talking to newsmakers and pundits, for that matter, about their opinions. I'm an information gatherer by nature, so that's what attracted me about this industry.

I want to see my kids for dinner. I want to put them down at night. I want to see their soccer games after school.

I don't see myself as some television star; I see myself as a girl from Albany.

Somebody saying something offensive to you or insulting to you is not pleasant, but it's part of life.

I think my viewers want smart, honest programming. They don't want to be told what makes them feel good.

I've lived in New York state almost my entire life, so my votes never count.

I think that 'Fox News' is fair and balanced.

This is the U.S.A., and it's the most glorious place to live in the world.

While I don't think Trump wants to target any particular minority group, I understand their fear because he spent many months stoking it.

I always feel like I want more time with my kids. But I reject the notion that you can't have it all. I think you can: just not necessarily in abundance.

Print reporters have the opportunity to go so much more in depth in certain stories than television reporters do because they're working on stories for months at a time.
