dad kids thinking
I wanted to be an actress. I think it had a lot to do with being a kid and watching how every time my dad would stand up to talk people would applaud... that was pretty cool.
self-confidence self
I have more self-confidence than I did when I was in my 20s.
strong mean vikings
We're Norwegians. You know, the Vikings. My deadlift was 310 pounds. I mean, I was very, very strong - and I didn't take steroids. I did it all on my own.
dad hey payment
When you're nearing 35, going, 'Hey Dad, I can't make these payments,' just isn't cool.
real real-friends who-your-friends-are
The biggest hurdle is figuring out who your friends are. Your real friends.
father rude president
How rude would I be, walking around and saying: 'Hello. I'm Eleanor Mondale. My father was vice president of the United States. Treat me differently.
men choices taste
I make bad choices. I've got such dodgy tastes in men.
men careers want
I didn't want to get married. What I knew of most men was something I didn't want any part of. I just wanted to work on my career.
home voting bills
Don't forget to vote for Bill Clinton and Al Gore. Stay home if you're voting for Dole.
people return
I didn't like not having work and not having people return my calls.
fun want sides
I like being involved in the lighter side of journalism because it serves a purpose, and it's fun. And I can keep my opinions off camera if I want.
bahamas ambassadors
I'd like to be the ambassador to the Bahamas.
college eight years
I started out pursuing an acting career out of college when I lived in Los Angeles. When I got an entry into broadcasting, I preferred it. I liked being me, rather than dressing up to be someone else. Now I'm 30 and doing a career of my own and have been in this career for eight years.
girl years hay
I've always considered myself a physical person. I don't call myself a farm girl, but I did spend a lot of years shoveling manure and throwing hay, because I worked to pay most of my riding expenses.
