On career day as a young journalist, I scraped up my money and went to this big conference for young journalists, and the great feedback I got was that I would not or should not become an anchor because my eyelashes were too long and too distracting.

My job as a television anchor or television reporter is not to proselytize.

Some people continue to pretend that anchor people are reporters.

I worked in three local news markets and in every single one of them, they said: 'You're a lousy anchor. We would love to renew your contract and have you be our lead reporter here, but we're not going to have you anchor.'

I have an extra set of eyelashes because you never know. I could cry or laugh, or it could be windy, and I'll need a standby pair.

I always wanted to be an anchorman, but after college I wound up working behind the scenes at CBS News for 10 years.

I would not give up my eyelash curler.

My lashes are so long that if I don't curl them, I'm blind.

I'm a member of the media. I'm America's Anchorman.

There's certainly something very uncomfortable about the voyeurism involved in being in the press, being an actor, where people have a seemingly insatiable curiosity about, you.
