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
My father was so good-natured and had such a happy disposition. Ive always confused him with Jimmy Stewart. So, think Jimmy Stewart. Thats my dad. – Jane Pauley
I envy people with dreams and passions, but I dont think that way. I still dont have a bliss to follow. For people like me – I suspect thats most people – holding out for a dream or a passion is paralyzing. I just like having work I enjoy that feels meaningful. Thats hard enough… but its enough. – Jane Pauley
I came back to work when my children were two months old. At that early age, they seem to have little awareness of anybody but their Raggedy Ann dolls, so it wasnt a matter of them missing me. I was missing them. – Jane Pauley
