For morning news, people want to know as they are getting dressed, as they are getting ready to leave [for work], "what has happened in the world overnight?" Morning news is a sure-fire way to find out what that is. I personally love and celebrate the fact that you can go to bed and the world is one way and you wake up and it's totally different.

My first memory of the Rolling Stones is listening to 'Satisfaction' at a sixth-grade slumber party at a friend's house in Ankara, Turkey, where my family was living at the time. In the middle of our sleepover, my friend's dad stopped the record when he heard the words 'girlie action!'

People think that I don't work, and I fly around in Oprah's private plane doing whatever I want.

I love a man who loves his mama, which is one of the many reasons I'm crazy about Justin Timberlake.

I changed my name from Gail to Gayle in seventh grade because I liked to make a loopy 'y.

I grew up in an all-white community.

I only tweet if I discover something that's fantastic, or if I heard something really great.
