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!'

- I envy people with dreams and passions, but I don't think that way. I still don't have a 'bliss' to follow.

That's hard enough... but it's enough.
