I'm not driven by killer ambition. I'm not a workaholic. I'm a good team player. I don't have to be captain, but I do want to play on a winning team.

More quotes by Jane Pauley
I would not take for granted that my personal life - because I knew better than anybody - that it was just a life. It was surprisingly an ordinary life.
Jane Pauley
Many people come to reinvention when life changes around them, but people come in all different stripes. I'm oriented to change.
Jane Pauley
Your 40s are a major trough. About the age of 50, feelings of satisfaction begin to rebound and keep rising into your 50s, 60s and 70s, with health being a major factor.
Jane Pauley
A diagnosis is burden enough without being burdened by secrecy and shame.
Jane Pauley
The courage to try something new makes me proud.
Jane Pauley
I am not one of the great journalists of my time.
Jane Pauley
I love working with an audience. I love working with actual people who, you know, if they're moved, you see it. If you say something they're stunned by, you see their jaws drop. If they're amused, they laugh - that kind of reinforcement, I totally adore.
Jane Pauley
Kids learn more from example than from anything you say I'm convinced they learn very early not to hear anything you say, but to watch what you do.
Jane Pauley
The most likely moment for something incredible to happen to me was the moment I was most certain nothing ever would.
Jane Pauley
A mood disorder is dangerous. You've got to get those dramatic waves of highs and lows stabilized. It's dangerous if you don't.
Jane Pauley
I had had some months of depression. Not serious enough to keep me from work. So, I guess you'd call that a mild depression.
Jane Pauley
'Good Morning America' exploited Joan Lunden's pregnancy, but you won't see me bringing my babies on the air. The only reason I'm talking about the babies at all is that they've been with me on the show since I became pregnant. After a while, I had to acknowledge this pumpkin tummy.
Jane Pauley
When I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder the year I turned 50, it was certainly a shock. But as a journalist, knowing a little bit about a lot of things, I didn't suffer the misconception that depression was all in my head or a mark of poor character. I knew it was a disease, and, like all diseases, was treatable.
Jane Pauley
Twins are a high-risk pregnancy, by definition. The quieter I am, the longer I can keep them growing.
Jane Pauley
This may sound funny, but as much as the 'Today' show matured me, it also was something of a cocoon. I'd been happy there. I never went into the boss's office and pounded my fist on the desk, saying, 'Give me more money! Give me a prime-time show!'
Jane Pauley
The years after 50 can be a time of great productivity, meaningful work, pleasure, creativity, and innovation. It's a huge opportunity.
Jane Pauley
I have been fiercely private, in part because I could never understand how a journalist could be otherwise. I was also the mother of small children, and security concerns were paramount.
Jane Pauley
My guess is that people look at me and project their own values - importance of family, ego is healthy but not the biggest thing. I don't know. I can't explain my popularity.
Jane Pauley
My goal is to see that mental illness is treated like cancer.
Jane Pauley
My parents had an experience of life that is as opposite to mine as you can imagine.
