I - listen, racism - being a racist is the worst thing you can say about somebody. I mean, it is such a charged accusation. And I really think people should be very careful before they level that.

A woman can be harassed and then go on to have a good working relationship with the man harassing her.

I think we have gone too far into the PC culture, but there's a limit to how far we can take that.

If I could have half the career of Diane Sawyer, I'd be a happy woman.

Being a trial lawyer sounds like glamorous work, but most of your time is spent pushing paper and arguing.

I don't want to be an opinion anchor.

There is no question that Hannity is a conservative. But I can tell you from personal experience after having worked with O'Reilly for years now, you never know where he is going to come out on an issue. He definitely leans right when it comes to certain social, traditional value issues, but he's all over the board on certain other issues.

Some things are worth the fat and calories, although I have to watch it like a hawk.

I respect women like Gloria Steinem who paved the way. But when you say 'feminist' now, there is a message that if you are sexy and you acknowledge that part of your personality publicly, then it's somehow an affront to women. And I reject that.

I remember thinking that I'd never show my arms on TV, but over time you loosen up.

In another life - and as I like to say, another body - I used to teach aerobics.

In life and in politics, it's helpful to try to perceive the other person through the most generous lens.

It's not that I'm a 'Let's hug and be joyful all the time' boss. Or that I don't, quote, 'own my own power.' I just never want to be that big, swingin', rule-by-fear person.

Oftentimes it feels like Fox stands alone in the media on certain stories.

I wasn't a shrinking violet when I joined Fox News. I didn't have any power at Fox - I had no power in the TV industry - but I had been a lawyer for nine years who had practiced employment law.

I don't like that word: feminist.

I distinctly remember being very young, sixth grade maybe, and being at a party and hearing the mothers discuss the children. And the mothers said, 'Well, it's very clear who's the leader in the group.' And they were talking about me!

Fox News covers stories that some other news outlets won't cover. We ask some questions that other news outlets wouldn't ask. And sometimes that's perceived as bias by people who've grown up in a world where there are only liberal outlets.

Once I found professional happiness, it gave me time to think about other areas in my life in which I wasn't happy. The next obvious candidate for introspection was my marriage.

If I were Sarah Palin, would I want to sit in an interview with someone who was secretly out to get me? Probably not.

When Roger Ailes hired me, he knew I was the daughter of a college professor and a nurse. There was nothing in this resume that would telegraph, 'She's a secret conservative.'

I'm an independent.

I was always a strong personality. I was never an introvert.

I was a big Jay Leno fan, so I was sorry to see him go. But my number one person that I watch, she's not late night, but in terms of the comedian genre, is Ellen DeGeneres - love her.

I was not the only journalist to whom Trump offered gifts clearly meant to shape coverage. Many reporters have told me that Trump worked hard to offer them something fabulous - from hotel rooms to rides on his 757.

The best answer and the best way forward to young women out there who want to get ahead is work your tail off. Work harder than everybody. Be better than everybody else. Do better. Try harder.

In law, especially back in '95 when I was breaking in, it was much more of an old boys' network.

The people, as much as it's fun to hate us, they need us. They need good, strong, skeptical journalists to be covering whoever it is - whether it's Barack Obama or President Donald Trump.

What people don't realize about Donald Trump - and I don't even know if Donald Trump realizes it - is that every tweet he unleashes against you... creates such a crescendo of anger.

People think I'm fearless. But I'm human.

If you behave like a stupid moron, you're going to get called out by me.

We have to ask the tough questions.

I have the humor of a 9-year-old boy, and sometimes I've had laughing fits on-air.

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.
