““The show went live and we all filed out and sat down. The anchors started asking questions and I think they asked me what I hoped to get out of the show. Without thinking I said, “I just want to make my kids proud.” I didn’t plan that answer, nor did I plan to get all choked up about it right out of the gate. It was subtle, but my voice definitely quivered a little bit. I heard someone utter under his or her breath, “Oh, shit.” I didn’t mean to be playing to the audience already. That was my true, from-the-heart answer.””
