Eleanor Mondale Quotations

My parents are always supportive of anything their kids do. They point out the pros and cons, but they let you make your own decisions, and when it's bad they stick by you.

I have more self-confidence than I did when I was in my 20s.

The reporting I did was mostly entertainment or lifestyle. I took a very different approach than most reporters. I approached it more casually than you would think a reporter would. Now I'm a morning radio personality, and radio is really casual.

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.

Actually, I'm 130, but 125 is what I put on my resume, because that's what I look like I weigh.

I have to prove myself five times over.

I like fashion. I like being in shape. I like to look nice and I like to make money, but I don't think that's the most, No. 1, important thing.

There was a point when I almost gave up. I couldn't feed myself. I couldn't feed my pets.

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.

I didn't like not having work and not having people return my calls.
