I'm so privileged to sit where Diane Sawyer and Peter Jennings sat.

Peter Jennings was the James Bond of evening news, and I always wanted to be that. His evening news was really a conversation with America, and I hope that's something I can achieve.

I can understand the kind of situation he is in. I had my years in and I just sat back and said it's probably time for me to move on and do something else, something different in my life. It's time for him to move along and do something different. He served the community very well over the years and I understand exactly where he is and I wish him all the luck in the world.

I was baby-sat on the beach,

All part of the service.

I'm ashamed to say that I'm from a very privileged background.
