“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.

Anybody with ability can play in the big leagues. But to be able to trick people year in and year out the way I did, I think that was a much greater feat.

I don’t feel bitterness, I don’t feel anger towards anybody. Fighting is never emotional to me.

Have a go. Anybody can do it.
