As an only child, I never felt insecure and always had total love.

When I was just starting out in the business, I used to love to watch Lorne Greene doing the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I said right then, 'That's what I want to do someday,' and it's been one dream that has come true.

My dad was an agent for Met Life. In the '50s, I remember the mortality rate was something like - you had - 58 was the average age. Then it was moved up to 62, and then 65, 68.

I wore dresses all the time. I like to wear dresses.

I have the best job in the entire history of broadcasting.

I go to McDonald's at least once a week. I always get a No. 2.

I want to get my own show because 'Today' will eventually get tired of me, or the audience will get tired of me.
