The more I thought about it, the more I realized how much I would enjoy it.

I was absolutely stunned because she told me that day that the tumor was shrinking and she was the picture of optimism that night.

As you know, I wasn't looking to come back to television on a regular basis.

I don't like gossip. I know the pain of gossip.

I'm just getting a chance now to do interviews with people in a way that I never did before when I was sitting with Regis, whom I adore by the way. ... We used to do six-minute interviews at the most. I sat with Sybil for over an hour. She cried about Elvis. She cried about her own children, and a health scare.

I have been interviewed a lot. I have empathy for the person who is being interviewed and written about with all kinds of misperceptions and misconceptions and flat-out lies. So I feel for them, I feel their pain. I know what that is like.

She sang beautifully. She looked lovely. She was wearing a wig, of course. She had been through chemo and radiation. She was very thin, which you would expect for somebody going through what she was going through.
