I didn't like not having work and not having people return my calls.

The biggest hurdle is figuring out who your friends are. Your real friends.

I wanted to be an actress. I think it had a lot to do with being a kid and watching how every time my dad would stand up to talk people would applaud... that was pretty cool.

When you're nearing 35, going, 'Hey Dad, I can't make these payments,' just isn't cool.

I've always considered myself a physical person. I don't call myself a farm girl, but I did spend a lot of years shoveling manure and throwing hay, because I worked to pay most of my riding expenses.

I like being involved in the lighter side of journalism because it serves a purpose, and it's fun. And I can keep my opinions off camera if I want.

I didn't want to get married. What I knew of most men was something I didn't want any part of. I just wanted to work on my career.
