It May Feel Like The More You

I Was An Unusually Private Person - In A Way, Kind Of Insufferably So. I Think I Thought The Celebrity Thing When It Happened Was A Temporary Phenomenon, And I Was Above It.

When I Was Diagnosed With Bipolar Disorder The Year I Turned 50, It Was Certainly A Shock. But As A Journalist, Knowing A Little Bit About A Lot Of Things, I Didn't Suffer The Misconception That Depression Was All In My Head Or A Mark Of Poor Character. I Knew It Was A Disease, And, Like All Diseases, Was Treatable.

Many People Come To Reinvention When Life Changes Around Them, But People Come In All Different Stripes. I'm Oriented To Change.

The Courage To Try Something New Makes Me Proud.

This May Sound Funny, But As Much As The 'today' Show Matured Me, It Also Was Something Of A Cocoon. I'd Been Happy There. I Never Went Into The Boss's Office And Pounded My Fist On The Desk, Saying, 'give Me More Money! Give Me A Prime-time Show!'
