I can do whatever I want, but I'm a French girl. It goes with everything.

I enjoy getting dressed as a Barbie doll.

There's five cameras, I don't know how many people in the audience... depending on where we're taping, there can be anywhere from 300 to 5,000 people, so the contestants are nervous

I'm a mom, a full-time mom when I'm not taping. I do the carpool thing, and bake the cookies, and do the homework.

When I was having that alphabet soup, I never thought that it would pay off.

I never get bored, because there’s always different puzzles, I’m wearing different clothes, there’s different contestants, there’s different prizes.

I think people think of me as this elegant person because they always see me dressed up.

I don't see why anyone should put me down for my job. I'm bright. I'm intelligent. I turn letters - so what? I also talk. I talk on the show! People know my name on the show.

It's not the most intellectual job in the world, but I do have to know the letters.

Any press is good press.

I just don't think America wants a female host. It's like men don't walk around in skirts in this country. Why change a good thing?

Life is here to be enjoyed, your smile and your happiness makes it even better".

If miracles were easy, the would be everywhere.

If anyone accuses me of contradicting myself I reply: Because I have been wrong once or oftener I do not aspire to be always wrong.

We are a team. We share the ball, we share the game, we share the worries.

When you fight you are in a situation where failure can happen. This chance of failure forges your character in many ways.

My father must have had some elementary education for he could read and write and keep accounts inaccurately

I learned...every part of the body; I would move each part as I memorized it. As a child, I would lie in the woods for hours, hiding and watching the animals move, how the mother taught the young.

I'm interested in directing attention and focus, explored through playing cello.

We must acknowledge, of course, that what looks like failure to us Americans outside the privileged elite may not actually be failure for our overlords.

As long as a word remains unspoken, you are its master; once you utter it, you are its slave.
