For every young person I meet, I learn an idea.
My idea of a night out is actually a night in - in pajamas, with a good book or playing 'Mario Kart.' It's not that glamorous.
My earliest memory is nursing and struggling to see the colored lights making up the map of the world, the famous backdrop for Larry King's TV show. There's an 'I-want-to-do-all-things-at-once' kind of theme to it.
I know full well how important women are in diplomacy and development. I grew up with seven sisters.
You eat a lot of goat stomach when you're in North Africa. You eat whatever's put in front of you. I am a big proponent of that.
Pope Francis has stressed humility and austerity - a far cry, according to many, from the predecessor's bling and Ferragamo shoes - those were pretty entertaining. And he's translating all of that into a policy agenda.
Hillary Clinton respects good ideas wherever they come from. That's something I haven't seen in a lot of powerful people.
A simple leather jacket... has gotten me through cocktail parties in New York and cold nights in Afghanistan.

I grew up in a family that had young people adopted from all over the world.
I grew up in a family where you could never be the center of attention.
Certainly in my own body of reporting, I was very acutely aware of the risk of any mischaracterized journalism and the need for anything I put out to be absolutely bulletproof.
LGBT people are some of the bravest and most potent change agents and leaders I have encountered, and the most forceful defenders of the vulnerable and voiceless, because they know what it's like to be there.
I've got to say, I'm a Rand Paul fan.
