“You never know what’s going to happen, so I get up at 6 a.m. every morning. It’s a new wakeup call for me, for sure. But you just want to be polished. That way, if anything happens”

I think people often misunderstand that I work as hard and want things just as badly as anybody else.

I’m ready to go. I’m not going to sit in a makeup chair for an hour and be like, “Then I’ll go get the story.”

And I got to a point where I realized, “I can’t be them.” I can only be the best that Abby can be. And as long as I’m myself and I’m genuine and I’m real, then I think that’s all you can do.

I’ve always loved news. I’ve always loved storytelling and being where the scene is.

I come from a great family and I was raised by wonderful parents. There is no question that I was given a lot of interesting and unique opportunities growing up.

I think our insecurities are our biggest challenges, and we all have them. Trust me, I’ve got plenty of my own.

You can only be your best self. When I initially got on the air, I would look around me and watch people that I thought were really good and try to be like they were.

We’ve all been underestimated at times. That’s life.
