The world reacts very strangely to people they see on TV, and I can begin to understand how anchor monsters are made. If you're not careful, you can become used to being treated as though you're special and begin to expect it. For a reporter, that's the kiss of death.

The real test of an anchor is when there's a very big event. Sept. 11 is the quintessential example of that, and that day it took everything that I knew as an anchor, as a citizen, as a father, as a husband, to get through it.

If someone says you're a reporter and doesn't want you to anchor then you wonder why you worked so hard at it.

Hopefully, any character I play has an anchor in reality.

On career day as a young journalist, I scraped up my money and went to this big conference for young journalists, and the great feedback I got was that I would not or should not become an anchor because my eyelashes were too long and too distracting.

I can begin to understand how anchor monsters are made. If you're not careful, you can become used to being treated as though you're special and begin to expect it.

I have never felt anchored when it comes to fashion. I've always had to depend on a stylist helping me to figure it out.

I never wanted to be an anchor for 25 years, and suddenly I wanted to be one.
