I'm big on being positive. I'm generally so positive and happy. I just always felt that I was exactly where I wanted to be. And things have continued to go in great directions.

I started working at Bravo in 2005, when I was offered a job by Lauren Zalaznick, the network's chairman. She encouraged me to start a blog. I wrote behind-the-scenes gossip about 'Battle of the Network Reality Stars,' the first show I took on as head of current programming.

Follow your passion. Be yourself, but check yourself before you wreck yourself.

You know, we've got so much on Bravo and coming up on Bravo, and I think we have so much more going on than 'The Real Housewives.' And I think 'The Real Housewives' is a great, you know, great addition to the portfolio. I think it brings a lot of viewers under our umbrella. And I think they stay and sample other shows.

After three straight years of writing, though, I definitely needed a break to just go live my life.

I love the term "everything is copy," attributed to Nora Ephron, which was my guiding principle as I wrote.

I'm a lifetime St. Louis Cardinals fan.
