I used to play the French horn.

I can't stand anything with mushrooms.

I loved just about every minute of CNN.

When I was younger, I was obsessed with hats.

So many people who criticize Fox News don't watch Fox News.

Dan Lothian is a consummate professional and a trusted partner.

I refused to let my parents take my hat off when I went to bed.

In the 24-hour news cycle of cable, we don't always get it right.

I root for the Yankees, so I like to play for a first-place team.

It's more important to get the story correct than to get it first.

When scoops are just tweeted out, I think a lot of the context can be lost.

The path was not easier for Jackie Robinson simply because he embraced God.

Rooting for the Dodgers once would have been heresy within my New York family.

I love breaking news, I love bringing context to big stories, and you can't fake that.

The fact that your liver can regenerate itself is incredible - it's a medical miracle.

There are far too many journalists who are in a rush to be first, instead of being right.

My mom dragged me by my ear to Catholic school because I was a cutup and thought I needed to see the nuns.

I am determined to do whatever I can to give my sister the greatest gift of all, which quite simply is life.

My sister is humble, never wants to be a burden, and always tries to shoulder as much as she can on her own.

I love having a front-row seat on history, whether that's a White House briefing room or the campaign trail.

I have been lucky to work with a terrific group of correspondents in D.C. but a special mention of Dana Bash.

As someone who eats, drinks, and sleeps politics, it is nice to dive into a totally different subject I am passionate about.

I've only very rarely sent a tweet to a politician. I think it could look a little too buddy-buddy if you're tweeting with people that you cover.

I asked tough questions of the Obama White House when I was at CNN and nobody freaked out. I start asking tough questions at Fox and everybody freaked out.

Covering two presidential campaigns for CNN was great fun, especially because of remarkable friends throughout the entire political unit, especially Mark Preston.

I always come back to Frank Sinatra. Love some modern stuff - Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar - but give me 'Night and Day' or 'In the Wee Small Hours,' and all is chill.

I know what people say about Fox and about what they say is a tilt to the right. Meanwhile, the reporters I know, like Bret Baier, are right down the middle and are tough on everybody.

My relatives have always taken their baseball seriously, and proudly rooted for the Yankees when they beat the boys from Brooklyn in six remarkable World Series matchups in the 1940s and the 1950s.

A lot of people simply don't know about the ability to be a living donor. All of us grew up on the idea that you only got organ donations from a dead person that had checked a box on a driver's license.

In 1958, Brooklyn Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley broke countless hearts when he moved the team known as the Boys of Summer to Los Angeles - dumping the guts and grit of Ebbets Field for the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.

I started out wanting to be a fireman and would cry if my mother tried to take off my 'Emergency 51' hat, so she had to wait until I fell asleep. Then it was on to another cap: I wanted to play first base for the Yankees.

I could never forget the dozens upon dozens of people in Atlanta who have been so great to work with across all of the platforms of cnn.com and CNN Radio, as well as fabulous colleagues at CNN International, HLN, and CNN Espanol.

I don't want to pretend that I only focus on social media to do my job, but it is a very important complement to what we do on a day-in and day-out basis. You can get a whole lot more information through social media than you can get just through the traditional methods of picking up the newspaper.

My first day at Fox, President Obama gave a primetime address to the nation. That would have been a great chance for Roger Ailes or someone to say, 'Hey, Ed, there is going to be a lot of people watching tonight, maybe you should hit Obama on this or that.' I didn't get a phone call from anyone. I didn't get an email from anyone.

When I initially told a friend that I was going to donate part of my liver to my sister, he exploded and said, 'What? You can't do that! You can't live without your liver!' He had no idea, and to be honest, early on, neither did I. Most people don't know that this is possible, so it's been a fantastic thing to help raise public awareness.
