“Infertility has long been a taboo subject, which has only served to make those who suffer from it feel more embarrassed and isolated.”
“More and more, that's where everybody's getting their news. You turn on your news in the morning, you're doing other things, but you have it on in the background while you're getting ready, and that's your news hit for the day.”
“Since 2015, I've listened closely to Trump supporters' feelings and motivations. I've drawn insights from every one of my panelists on the appeal of Donald Trump as a disruptor, how they believed he was 'a fighter' for them, how they believed his success in business would translate into lifting the U.S. economy.”
“It's important to be able to speak directly to people, have real conflict and resolve it.”
“At 'New Day,' I don't get any marching orders.”
“I'm living proof that in the fertility world, anything's possible.”
“I began writing 'Amanda Wakes Up' in 2012 as an outlet for frustration over what I was seeing in TV 'news' at the time. The novel was supposed to be satire, not a Book of Prophesies.”

“I bought an ovulation kit and realized that I wasn't ovulating. I went to the doctor, who said I had hypothalamic dysfunction.

“That's how I process issues. I like writing them out. It's calming for me when things slow down in that way.”
“My favorite Shrapnel show happened one cold Christmas night when I was 16. It was a midnight show. Now if going to a punk rock show at midnight doesn't sound like a traditional Christmas, keep in mind, the guys in the band were from our tiny hometown, making even our parents proud, so we were allowed to break with tradition.”
“I'm interested, obviously, in what viewers have to say. And obviously as a journalist I want to have my finger on the pulse. But I really don't need to hear every person's insults.”
“Roger Ailes ruled with an iron fist, and he wanted us all to fall in line and have his world view and say the things that he wanted us to say on Fox News.”
“Between celebrities such as Michelle Obama, Amy Schumer, Gabrielle Union, Brooke Shields and others sharing their stories, it seems the shame of infertility is slowly fading away.”
“Yes, Roger Ailes did sexually harass me.”
“At CNN, we didn't let candidates' claims go unchecked. So, for example, in an interview with me, when Trump claimed he had never expressed disapproval about the United States going into Afghanistan, I had to correct him.”
“I always had irregular cycles, but I dismissed it - I didn't know what a huge part that would play in my fertility.”
“If a hotline is secret, it doesn't work.”
“Whenever people ask me about the moment I decided to become a broadcast journalist, I explain that it happened in utero.”
