I have a family and two cats; I get up with my kids early in the morning.Collection: Morning
In my personal life, I'm a huge fan of Carolina Herrera. I just think her stuff is timeless and classic.
During the week, I usually stay home and cook a simple dinner. I go to bed early, get up early, exercise, and then on weekends, I'll go out to dinner.
I'm not a huge dresser-upper. Most of my closet is jeans, T-shirts, tennis shoes, and flats. I don't even know if I have a sequin gown in my closet.
Because I dress up elegantly for work, the last thing I want to do is dress elegantly when I'm at home. Or even when I go out.
It is what it is, and it's a crazy job - I literally touch letters and wear pretty clothes, and how do you describe that job? It's weird, but I've been doing it for a long time, and I'll be first to make fun of it - I really will - but I wouldn't trade it for anything else in world.
What people don't know about me is that I'm a pretty good businesswoman. Yes, I do this little ol' game show, but I know the show isn't going to last forever, so I've gone into different ventures. But I don't want to sound like I'm bragging.
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.
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.
So, I understand when they make a mistake and everyone at home is throwing their shoe at the television set.
I'm a businesswoman. You know, I have other investments too, real estate. A long time ago, I would buy a house and flip it. But now everybody does that, so I don't do that anymore because there's no houses out there to buy.
I'm shy. I'm not outgoing. I'm a homebody. I am on TV, but you know, it's interesting. How much do I talk on TV?
I will say that when I retire, I will probably do something to help others. I don't know know what it will be... probably I'll get involved in some charity.
I wear weird-colored toenail polish - like blue, green, or yellow. If it's strange-looking, I will wear it.
I love to crochet. I have my own line of yarn and donate half my proceeds to St. Jude Children's Hospital.
My biggest phobia is spiders. When I was in second grade, one of my classmates got bitten. That did it for me.
I made a baby blanket for both of my children and brought them home from the hospital in them, and they will always have them.
If you're looking for a dress to wear to an event, put it on with the heels that you're going to wear and walk around the room and make sure you feel comfortable in it.
Don't put on something so tight thinking, 'Oh, I can wear this for four hours.' Don't do that to yourself!
Our viewers are loyal. They've seen Pat and me together for 30 years. It's like Ken and Barbie. How do you break them up?
When I first moved to L.A., I went walking down the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and I would tell myself, 'One day, I'm going to have my own star.'
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.Collection: Jobs
I never get bored, because there’s always different puzzles, I’m wearing different clothes, there’s different contestants, there’s different prizes.Collection: Clothes
I need to be able to raise my hands up to turn the letters. That's probably the only limitation I have when it comes to gowns. I wear tight ones, I wear loose ones, I wear every color, and different fabrics.Collection: Hands

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?Collection: Country
