More quotes by 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
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
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
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.
Jane Pauley
I've always been profoundly ambivalent about fame. I think it just eats the reality out of you and it can be intoxicating because I like some of it.
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
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
I am not one of the great journalists of my time.
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
My goal is to see that mental illness is treated like cancer.
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
'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
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
I probably am more shy than people realize. But I'm shy when I leave a studio and I am just myself.
Jane Pauley
I can cook but not well. I figure I have six years until my children discover what their friends' mothers make for dinner.
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
The courage to try something new makes me proud.
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
My tides were fluctuating, too - back and forth, back and forth - sometimes so fast they seemed to be spinning. They call this 'rapid cycling.' It's a marvel that a person can appear to be standing still when the mood tides are sloshing back and forth, sometimes sweeping in both directions at once. They call that a 'mixed state.'
Jane Pauley
