When the Murdoch family leadership chose Suzanne Scott to lead Fox News who had been at the channel for a number of years and knew inside and out, the system of winning, I was excited.

I get flak from everybody, which is how I know I'm living my truth.

When a black church is hit in South Carolina by someone with hate in their spirit, that's something that touches all of America, but as a person of color, I see that story even through a deeper prism of, 'Gosh, that takes us back to a time when black churches were targets in this country.'

As I got older, my mother taught me to remember that your connection with people is based on what you're allowing them to touch about you, which was the opposite of what you get as a military kid, because dad's in a uniform. He's official; you don't poke that. But with mom, you do: Always question authority.

I have a certain perspective and intolerance for people who try to twist and bend whatever the truth might be.

I think it's impossible to be up close with people and to ask them to let you in if you're fake.

Regardless of what all the research says about don't talk about politics at work, people are talking about what they see on the news.

Sometimes I get slammed because I work at Fox and I am black. People are like, 'How could you work there? Who are you?' People really want to know what are your politics personally. Some of them, not everybody.

Sometimes you will hear me say right on the air, 'You just cited a poll that is not even part of Real Clear Politics,' which is an average, an aggregate. Yours is seeming to be an outlier. Give me the name of that poll and the date that it was taken. I will say it right on the air.

The greatest skill that I have is what the viewer has: I listen. I try to listen silently.

I know enough to know every time a cable show beats a broadcast show... you've attracted people outside the scope of what you normally reach.

You have a finite amount of people who watch at a certain time every day. But when you have that kind of success that 'Outnumbered Overtime' continues to have, it's gotta be a broader audience. I'm really thrilled about that.

Unfortunately, we've reached a point in society where we don't mind staying mad at each other for awhile. It wasn't always like that.

I married an amazing guy.

My kids really still share the one thing that I think is life-changing, and that's eye contact with me. As they've gotten older, I have made it a priority to continue that.

I'm curious when I look across the dial Monday through Friday, you know, where are the other female black anchors?

Getting into network television was tougher than I thought it was gonna be.

To get a presidential tweet from the Commander-in-Chief about a military book that you've written is pretty awesome. And it wouldn't matter where that person's politics would be, it's the President of the United States.

I hope that people look at me and think that I'm good at my job.

I believe in diversity in thought, in culture, and all sort of things.

I do believe that this country is the greatest on this planet and that we can come together and get great answers together.

I think you kind of facilitate civil conversation no matter how heated you think it could get by telling everybody and showing them that you mean what you say when you value all sides.

It's not annoying to get a compliment.

It benefits my girls to see a mommy who is living her dream.

It's social media. You can't be thin-skinned.

One of the things I love about Fox News is that it looks at something and tries to figure out how it can be useful in the journey and bring everybody else along and lead the way.

We have a lot of interesting, talented women at Fox News.

My dad was ex-military, so I was raised to always know about current events, particularly what was going on with the military and government. And I always loved storytelling.

I knew from a very young age that I was going to use my voice. I've basically sounded like this since I was 9.

My husband is Jewish.

I was always tenacious.

I'm all of those things that I was brought up to really value: honesty, stick with it, don't quit, don't cut and run, stay in there. When you think things might fall apart, believe that you have enough for victory. That's the stuff I have in me.

I tell you what, if somebody gives you the opportunity to live your dream, wouldn't you want to do it for a lot of hours?

I liked the remake of 'Ghostbusters.'

My dad was stationed at the Pentagon when I was like middle-school age. He was support for the Joint Chiefs of Staff; his boss was Colin Powell.

If anybody can harm you, it's going to be the people who are closest.

For young people I like to talk about unleashing your integrity, because I tie it to social media and how careful we have to be about being consistent online with who we really are.

We want eyeballs on the screen.

Here's what I know: My rise and success have been a direct result of the merits and fabulous opportunities from mentors, including Roger Ailes. Without him, my journey would be quite different. He has changed the arc of my career. He believed in me when people who looked like me were not in network news.

I am profoundly grateful for the opportunities he gave me and not once have I ever been ashamed to say these five words: Roger Ailes believes in me.

You don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate.

I'm pretty disciplined. But your brain needs boredom. It needs routine.

Downtime for me is just when I can sit still.

On a daily basis I'm covering things that are leaking out of the White House and leaking out what should be closed-door meetings on the Hill. That is not integrity.

Even though I'm just over 5'9'', heels make me feel feminine and fierce.

I always wear my signature 5- to 5-and-a-half-inch heels.

In the past, the biggest mistake I've made has been trying to treat election night like the first and last time anyone will ever see me on TV. I've worn dresses that were more prom time than primetime.

We in the media accept the responsibility of what we do.
