When I'm anchoring, I miss chasing stories in the field.

I know I'll be under a spotlight, I know I'll be under the microscope.

There's that initial reticence for some athletes to take you seriously.

In terms of broadcasting, you have to make decisions about where you want to spend your time.

We're starting to push the envelope in terms of the expectations, and you can also have your own style, personality and sense of humor, because now we're allowed to.

I was so afraid that the athletes wouldn't talk to me because I'm a woman.

I grew up watching Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell and the other guys with my dad.

No, one of the great things about my three-year deal is that it's year-round. They've offered me an opportunity to cover a lot of things in the offseason, too.

My approach is a very human one, as a fan.

Constantly there's a credibility issue; you're judged on how you look. If you look good, people assume you aren't credible. It's a battle you'll always fight if you're on TV and a female.

I've always been the only girl in those environments. It's comfortable for me - I prefer it, actually.

On my morning run, I listen to sports talk radio.

When I found out I got this job, I cried, of course - I'm a girly-girl - and then I called my dad, and he cried, too. On so many levels, this is a thrill for me.

I'm looking forward to talking to Bill Parcells, too, and to seeing how that marriage with Jerry Jones goes.

You just have to hope that they'll grant you an interview.

I've always been around dudes and sports.

So I plan to prepare thoroughly and have several outfits waiting in the wings in case of inclement weather.

I'm proud of what I look like. I'm proud that I look like my mom.

And that Michael Irvin would care more about his wardrobe than I would?

I want to know about what makes an athlete tick.

I'm proud of being Hispanic.

In the morning, I reach for the sports page.

Being attractive and being credible can and do go together.

My mom died when I was 8.

So my dad raised me, and he's a huge football fan.

I'm not going to relate to an athlete as a peer.

You mean the fact that Tom Arnold would spend more time with the hair and makeup people than I would?

And I'm proud of what I do as a professional, too.

I'm comfortable with my femininity, and I don't try to change what I look like just because I'm reporting on football at the end of the night.

When I'm anchoring, I miss chasing stories in the field.

I love color and I love to dress like a woman.

Constantly theres a credibility issue youre judged on how you look. If you look good people assume you arent credible. Its a battle youll always fight if youre on TV and a female.

I never went to drama school.

God is gracious to some very peculiar people.

Art is dangerous. It is one of the attractions: when it ceases to be dangerous you don't want it.

Indeed I regard the enduring support which I have received over the years from all sections of the community in Ballymena as being more than sufficient recognition for any success which I may have achieved as an actor.

Thompson and Ritchie were among the first to realize that hardware and compiler technology had become good enough that an entire operating system could be written in C, and by 1978 the whole environment had been successfully ported to several machines of different types.

I like Vegas for its spontaneity.

Sometimes when you have a record out, you think you're going to go in at No. 1 but you go in at No. 8. So your second record has to be better. That's how I treat it.

If you start throwing hedgehogs under me, I shall throw a couple of porcupines under you.

I do what I love to do, what I choose to do.

There is no good envy, except the one that motivates us to reach higher goals and be better than the person we were yesterday.

There is no sexuality that is greater or lesser than another.

Its not about my career now. Its just about finding great work and having a good time.

Give place to others, as others have given place to you. Equality is the soul of equity. Who can complain of being comprehended in the same destiny, wherein all are involved?

I don't know how to be a rapper. I just know how to be me.

When I was growing up, albums were my closest friends, as sad as that may sound - Joy Division's 'Closer,' or Echo and the Bunnymen's 'Heaven Up Here'... I had a more intimate relationship with those records than I did with most of the people in my life.

Copying isnt particularly creative work. Being inspired by someone elses idea to produce something new and different is creative work.

I had been in a film, playing a young British aristocrat. My wife told me that she was invited to a dinner and she invited me to dinner and the hostess had seen me and said, 'You cannot bring him.' but I think that I've done enough to shatter the image.
