In the beginning when I sat next to Tom Brokaw on the Today show, the stories I was interested in were those having to do with women and children and learning and health. In those days, 25 to 30 years ago, that was called soft news, and not in a nice way. – Jane Pauley
I think my children know that Mothers priority is to be with them first. But I dont think it has to be an either/or situation. Work is very important to me, and it wouldnt be in the best interest of my children for me to stay home seven days a week. – Jane Pauley
Good Morning America exploited Joan Lundens pregnancy, but you wont see me bringing my babies on the air. The only reason Im talking about the babies at all is that theyve been with me on the show since I became pregnant. After a while, I had to acknowledge this pumpkin tummy. – Jane Pauley
My dad is still Christian Scientist. My moms not, and Im not. But I believe in God, and that theres a higher power and an intelligence thats bigger than us and that we can rely on. Its not just us, thinking we are the ones in control of everything. That idea gives me support. – Ellen DeGeneres
