The way social media is now, and people are with cameras - we all live different lives whether you're in the spotlight or not. I mean, you can't be a boss or an executive of a big time company and act a fool, because there are cameras everywhere and people are going to document it and take pictures. I'm not used to stuff like that.

Whether I'm on the road or off the road it's really important for me mentally and physically. Physically, when I'm on the road, I work with men that love to eat - I work with former athletes, with men who love to indulge on the road, so I eat like a guy. I have four appetizers, I try their entrees, I eat mine, I like dessert. So I have to make sure that physically, I try to stay in shape. I'm always doing some sort of a workout, and then mentally it just helps a lot with the stress.

We have really, really good-looking men who work for our network, and that's never brought into question. Our men dress very well, and look fantastic in a suit, and not once is that ever talked about. I can be called out on the Internet or in newspapers for asking a question, but if a male asked the same question, it would never be a topic.

Admitting your weaknesses does not diminish your strengths: it shows your courage.

Being a woman in a male-dominated industry, you are so afraid of people thinking you are weak.

My dad used to call me 'the human pretzel' because I was able to bend my body, and because my legs are very long.

It's what you'd expect out of Baton Rouge: people tailgating with shrimp étouffée, everything from alligators roasting on a barbecue to dishes that you would get in the French Quarter. These people are serious and they are legit and they're ready to go.
