Shepard Smith quotes:

In New York, I like it when you can get bagels at 3 in the morning.

And yet, something inside you is so horrible or you're such a coward or whatever the reason that you decide that you have to end it. Robin Williams, at 63, did that today.

There has to be news at a place called Fox News,

The exact time of death, I think, is not something that matters so much at this moment for we will be reliving John Paul's life for many days and weeks and even years and decades and centuries to come.

When I hear people say that Fox News is right wing, I know that's not true, because I'm the one doing the news. It's my show, and there's no place for opinion on my show. It's uninteresting to me.

When I make an error, it's a very bad day in my house.

Working for the Man seemed really good to me.

I need to keep my story count high. I'm trying to get as many stories in my hour as is humanly possible. We're telling more stories in our hour than any national newscast has in the history of this business, I think.

It is troublesome sometimes when people get up in your face in public, you know? And say, 'How could you, how dare you?' Well, they don't know me.

I'm not a liberal elite who was educated in the northeast, for example, I'm just a kid from Mississippi.

Oh, I don't talk about God.

I think there's a certain sense of grounding that comes from not being a rich kid from a media-elite school.

Everybody comes to the journalist with an agenda.

Interviewing politicians and movie stars, you know what you'll get. I like the people-stories better.

I've always been fascinated by weather.

We have a product for sale called news, and I'm a salesman.

I come from a place where we feel like we're not represented in the national media.

I've never been in a focus-group meeting. I wonder how many anchors can say that.

I enjoy reporting on triumph over tragedy.

I like stories that affect families.

I like to cover news when it happens, not five years later.

I take the subway to work. I love mass transportation.

I'm a journalist; I run to the fire, that's what we do.

I'm fortunate enough not to be poor, and I'm not a bad tipper.

Not even my parents know how I vote.

That is all the perspective you need!

We are America; we don't torture. And the moment that is not the case, I want off the train.

We do not have an outbreak of Ebola in the United States. Nowhere. We do have two healthcare workers who contracted the disease from a dying man. They are isolated. There is no information to suggest that the virus has spread to anyone in the general population in America. Not one person in the general population in the United States.

We don't communicate in full sentences anyway. We don't need all those words.
