When I diagnose my depression now, I think it was partially about saying goodbye to these kids that I always expected to have but already knew that I wouldn't.

I still like to listen to the people that I came of age on.

I don't know what I'm proudest of. The fact that my kids still talk to me.

After a 15-year career in television news, sometimes spent biting my tongue in the name of objectivity and balance, I retired to raise our two small children.

I do a lot of inspirational talks for kids, to motivate them to change their lives and give them hope.

I'm glad I had kids young because we have a strong bond and listen to the same music.

Also, I realized a lot of kids are listening to me. Whether I want to be or not, they're looking up to me.

When I finally retire, I just want to go away so no one has to listen to me.

Even when I was a kid, I had a good thing with kids. To this day, if I go to a birthday party with one of my kids, I swear to you, I am so much happier hanging out with my kids and their friends than talking to the grown-ups.

Most of the folks to whom I listen are concerned for their future. Too many of them know someone who's out of work, has lost their own job, or fear they might. And, they increasingly believe that the opportunity for a better life for their children is slipping away.
