And I'm proud of what I do as a professional, too.

Constantly there's a credibility issue; you're judged on how you look. If you look good, people assume you aren't credible. It's a battle you'll always fight if you're on TV and a female.

When I found out I got this job, I cried, of course - I'm a girly-girl - and then I called my dad, and he cried, too. On so many levels, this is a thrill for me.

I was so afraid that the athletes wouldn't talk to me because I'm a woman.

Just because I have a sense of humor and use bright colors, people always say it's 'camp.' I'm just doing my thing. I think of it as art.

I'd love to get into some comedy, but people keep saying, 'You're not funny!' And I say, 'Well, fair enough.' I have done comedy on stage.

Maybe I'll just become a cartoon character because there's nothing left for me to do in an R-rated comedy.

I experimented with my own one-man show a couple of years ago in Aspen when HBO used to have their comedy festival there. I called it 'A History of Me.'
