“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.

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

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

If anybody felt worse than I did, it was Amos. I had just enough magic to turn myself into a falcon and him into a hamster (hey, I was rushed!)

Anybody can be a rapper, but not anybody can be a classical artist.

People wanted to make products based on our child’s name, and you don’t want anybody trying to benefit off your baby’s name.

We all have stories for a reason, and if we keep them to ourselves, I don’t feel they would help anybody.

I knew I was as good as anybody. That’s not really bragging; it’s just that I’d put the time in.

I’m eighteen years behind in my ironing. There’s no use doing it now, it doesn’t fit anybody I know.

I am perfectly happy to compromise and work with anybody. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians. I’ll work with Martians. If – and the if is critical – they’re willing to cut spending and reduce the debt.

So I helped educate sports, and then the world, that a man living with HIV can play basketball. He’s not going to give it to anybody by playing basketball.
