Mika Brzezinski

I am not afraid to say my relationship with my man is important, even vital, to who I am as a person.

I remember an interview so terrible with CNN's Jon Klein, I nearly blurted out, 'Forget it, I am a loser!' But I didn't need to say it. My face and posture did.

Finding a job is hard enough, but have you ever considered the odds and the challenges of finding a good man?

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
