“I'm quite moderate.”

“I think there are some liberals who are extremely biased about Fox News and wish to shun it or wish to criticize any liberal who appears on Fox News. That, to me, is not a particularly liberal attitude.”

“I don't think what you hear on talk radio is representative of America.”

“'Liberal' is a great word - from the root, 'liberty,' which means free.”

“I think most people have that crazy uncle they sit at Thanksgiving dinner with: someone they disagree with politically but love them anyway.”

“Why preach to the choir? You reach more independents and even more Democrats on Fox News given their huge audience than you would on other networks. So I'm grateful to have that opportunity to have that platform.”

“If you're a conservative, you think I'm Satan.”

“I did standup comedy. I opened once for Jay Leno.”

“On my radio show at night, people will sometimes - conservatives will call and say, 'You know what, I'm really sorry I cast my vote for President Bush.' And we play Brenda Lee and 'I'm Sorry' and ask them to sing along.”

“Almost everything I think we've accomplished for the good of the country has been because of liberals against conservative opposition.”

“I feel quite lucky to have the platforms I have on both television and radio.”

“I don't delude myself into thinking I'll bring anyone around to my way of thinking, especially Sean Hannity.”

“Little did I know that the last words I would say on WNBC would be the last ones anyone would say.”

“Benghazi is not a scandal; Benghazi was a tragedy.”

“Issue by issue, if I were a Congressman, I would receive the highest rating from liberal think-tank Americans For Democratic Action.”

“Fox is fair and balanced.”

“I'm not an angry person. I get my point out, I'm true to what I believe, and I sleep well at night.”

“Some liberals have a problem with me simply because I work at Fox, and nothing I do short of storming off the set in a rage will get them to respect that I work there.”

“If I, as a liberal, didn't speak out against those who would squelch the free speech of conservatives, I wouldn't deserve to call myself a liberal.”

“Air America Radio was thinking of hiring me, but they discovered something in my past that didn't sit well with them: radio experience.”
