I've been given an opportunity to make a difference.
-
I'm definitely a foodie.
-
I am grateful that as a reporter and as an anchor, people have allowed me to share their stories.
-
What I've learned is that people have a desire to talk after the first line of reporters go away, and they are no longer speaking out of shock.
-
We all have roadblocks; we all have challenges.
-
I root for anyone who's got kids and if they want to make it work.
-
I'm about being honest and knowing that people are watching, and they want to know that I'm asking questions that they want the answers to.
-
I am followed in department stores. I have walked in dressed professionally or dressed in jeans, and I have walked into stores, and instantly, security is on my back.
-
I remember reading the cruelest, most awful thing about my hair online. A person speculated about who I was as a person and even read into my personal life based solely off my hairstyle. He or she said I must be lazy because I have short hair. It was just devastating.
-
It used to upset me - now it makes me sad - to see people use patriotism and our troops as a pawn in their political argument. Because I know personally, growing up in a military family, the sacrifice that is made on a daily basis.
-
I met Bon Jovi on the way to Washington, D.C. I think I called him Jon Jovi. Ugghhhh. I just smiled and pretended it didn't happen. I love him and his wife; they're so sweet. I was very nervous.
-
We are presented with a unique situation in the black community in that we have embraced the beauty of hip hop, the real rawness of it, the real fun of it, but we also have to address the damage it has done. We have to look at what it's done to our black girls, especially when it comes to domestic violence.
-
I date, don't get me wrong. I'm not up here filing my fingernails on a Friday night. I want to find someone to share my life with.
-
I take it seriously that it's a privilege and honor to be a role model to young girls, both black and white. It's not something I take lightly.
-
I was on morning TV for 10 years in Chicago.
-
The troops aren't red and blue. They're not black and white. They're not male and female. They are Americans! When they put their uniforms on, they are Americans. And that's a fact.
-
I feel it's tougher for the guys, because if I break up with them, then they can go on and be forced to watch me on TV every day. I don't see them.
-
I love Chicago. I wouldn't be where I am now, and I certainly wouldn't have the confidence that I hope that I project, if I'd not lived in Chicago.
-
I love edgy comedy. 'Coming to America' still gets me and 'Friday.' I watch old Richard Pryor stand-up on VHS, too.
-
When I was a general assignment reporter early in my career, I was the one knocking on their door after a tragedy.
-
Someone – a man – advised me not to become a news anchor because my eyelashes were too long, and they would distract the viewers.
-
I love Rihanna. She represents that strong, independent woman that you cannot keep down.
-
I've been engaged a couple times.
-
You understand, in my life, the only other person I spoke with or speak with more than Prince is my mother.
