Katy Tur

“My mom and dad were 'helicopter parents,' literally. Meaning, I didn't have a nanny, so I went up in the helicopter. My entire early childhood education consisted of tagging along while they reported on car accidents, multiple-alarm fires, and shootouts.”

“I don't hold a lot to the vest. I'm a bit of an open book, as anyone who knows me would contest. Confess? Attest? There's the word I'm looking for!”

“Donald Trump has advocated violence - I saw him do it several times on the campaign trail.”

“Generally, I find the hotter the temperature, the cooler I am.”

“I have a dream! Someday I'll show my children a map. I will tell them, 'Mommy was here and here and there and there.' That's my dream.”

“I'm 5'2'', 5'3'' on a good day.”

“I was known as a dogged, unflappable live reporter, the kind who runs barefoot to the camera, high heels in one hand, notebook in the other.”

“My mom likes to say I've been covering news since the day I was born - longer if you count my time in utero.”

“I have found where I am best, and that is being a fact-checker and being fearless.”

“Maybe it's because I'm jaded, but not a lot scares me.”

“I was on the campaign trail, covering Donald Trump for two years - and it's really hard to do anything for yourself with a schedule like that. I didn't have time to answer text messages from my friends or go to the gym, let alone get my nails done.”

“My parents got ahead in the news business with wits, guts, and a creative interpretation of 'fair game.' They leased their first helicopter in 1985, when KTLA news crews were on strike. Maybe the crews had good grievances, maybe not. Either way, my parents ignored the strike and went to work.”

“For one of my first TV jobs, I was required to cut my hair, dress a certain way, and wear a certain amount of makeup. I was even told to have my hair cut based on a picture in a magazine. I realized that until I complied, I wasn't going to get any airtime.”

“My parents covered police pursuits, and it was, in many ways, the beginnings of reality show TV in this captivating story that was a lot of flash but not all that much substance.”

“I've started baking. Having my hands deep in dough keeps them away from my phone.”

“It's times of relative calm and ease that I start to wind myself up.”

“A traditional presidential campaign has a media bus with the candidate's name on it and an itinerary days in advance. Trump has a plane with his name on it (that we aren't invited on) and an itinerary that often mutates daily, along with his talking points.”

“Listen, the guy was not created by coverage from MSNBC and CNN. If you want to blame us for making Donald Trump president because you're unhappy about it, I think you are deluding yourself. Donald Trump hit a nerve.”

“You don't go after veterans in this country. If there's one thing that's sacrosanct, it is the American military veteran.”

“I went off to the University of California, Santa Barbara, on a boatload of loans, sights set on becoming a doctor or a lawyer.”
