I've always had a reputation as a buffoon.

Tom Browkaw said it best. He said NBC could survive without him or the rest of the news division, but not Nancy Fields.

Just do the math. In the next 50 to 75 years, people will be living to be 130 and 140. They'll be working until they're 100. It's incredible.

My grandmother was a typical farm-family mother. She would regularly prepare dinner for thirty people, and that meant something was always cooking in the kitchen. All of my grandmother's recipes went back to her grandmother.

I run me like a conglomerate, because that's what I am.

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

I think women can cope a lot better than men.
