Nobody Calls Me Silly. That Is Not

I Love Working With An Audience. I Love Working With Actual People Who, You Know, If They're Moved, You See It. If You Say Something They're Stunned By, You See Their Jaws Drop. If They're Amused, They Laugh - That Kind Of Reinforcement, I Totally Adore.

About The Time I Turned 50, I Experienced The Profound Biological Change That Often Accompanies Women At That Age. Also, I Put Two Kids In College And Lost Both Of My Parents, So I'm No Longer Somebody's Daughter.

This May Sound Funny, But As Much As The 'today' Show Matured Me, It Also Was Something Of A Cocoon. I'd Been Happy There. I Never Went Into The Boss's Office And Pounded My Fist On The Desk, Saying, 'give Me More Money! Give Me A Prime-time Show!'

I've Always Had A Lot Of Ambivalence About Fame And Celebrity.

'good Morning America' Exploited Joan Lunden's Pregnancy, But You Won't See Me Bringing My Babies On The Air. The Only Reason I'm Talking About The Babies At All Is That They've Been With Me On The Show Since I Became Pregnant. After A While, I Had To Acknowledge This Pumpkin Tummy.
