When I was having that alphabet soup, I never thought that it would pay off.

I enjoy getting dressed as a Barbie doll.

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

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.

I never get bored, because there’s always different puzzles, I’m wearing different clothes, there’s different contestants, there’s different prizes.

I think people think of me as this elegant person because they always see me dressed up.

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.

It's not the most intellectual job in the world, but I do have to know the letters.

I can do whatever I want, but I'm a French girl. It goes with everything.

Any press is good press.

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?

Self-creative mind is divine force.

Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit

Look upon the world with loving eyes and the reflection everyone sees will contain love.

To say that my grief will be eternal would be ridiculous - nothing is eternal.

I try to meditate every morning. It relaxes me, clears my mind, and sets my day off on the right foot before things get too manic.

Technique isn't important. Technique is in the blood. Events and mood are more important than good light and the happening is what is important

Oh, now, now, now, the only now, and above all now, and there is no other now but thou now and now is thy prophet.

Life is both pleasure and pain, is it not? But why should we cling to pleasure and avoid pain? Why not merely live with both? If you cling to pleasure what happens? You get attached, do you not?

If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies.

Courtesy and good-humour are often found with little real worth.
