I'm a Brooklyn-born, Queens-raised, Manhattan-honed New York gal who entered college with only the vaguest ideas about what was coming next.

E! has the possibility of growing exponentially, and yes, I believe it could be a top 10 network.

As a working woman at the height of my career, I know age has only enhanced my professional and personal abilities. It has brought a sense of calm to the drive for success.

As any female executive with a family knows, you're making mental lists all through the night. You're often not sure you've managed to sleep at all.

My career choices aren't based on the popularity of my character; I have never intended to capitalise on my fan base.

It was a very hard decision to let people know about the multiple sclerosis because we're in an industry where illness is not something that show business likes.

In 2010, I was working in a bank in Lagos. It was a crazy job with long working hours. I had to leave for the office by 5:30 A.M., and sometimes I wouldn't be back until midnight.

The fans in the U.K. are so passionate and cool. It doesn't matter what company you work for or which part of the country you're in: everyone is super educated and respectful.
