Julie Chen Quotations

So how did it feel when you broke a nail on the third week of the show.

So, I'm getting less chips, paying the same amount of money. Is that legal for them to do this?

I thought Barbra Streisand had walked on stage, ... When they wouldn't stop clapping and when they stood up, I thought for sure she was behind me.

I guess because I was on the 'Early Show' for so many years, any little victory here is something kind of new for me.

I don't know how that works out, ... I don't know what's going on that I'm hosting the Emmys during really hard times. But I guess it's an honor and a privilege that I'm the one who gets to try to walk that line of making people feel good.

Slow and steady wins the race. I feel like I know in my bones if we're doing a good job and continue to do a good job, the ratings will come.

When I was in journalism school, you were taught to be completely objective. But we don't see that anymore.

Anything that can happen, will happen.

You will never be on this anchor desk, because you're Chinese.

I'm not taking maternity leave from 'Big Brother.' I e-mailed my boss over there this weekend and I said, 'Don't worry. I can still do the show!

You need to prioritize. If you can't get to everything or do everything, that's okay.

I pretty much work all the time.

I need to have a cheesesteak.

My very first news director said to me that it's better to be hated than to have viewers be neutral.

I don't know what's going on that I'm hosting the Emmys during really hard times. But I guess it's an honor and a privilege that I'm the one who gets to try to walk that line of making people feel good.

After I started getting criticism for doing 'Big Brother,' someone told me that Hugh Downs used to host 'Concentration' and Mike Wallace used to do 'The Big Surprise.' I thought, Huh, maybe that door isn't sealed shut if I want to do '60 Minutes' one day.

If you're trying to be something you're not, whether it's an age or a certain type of personality, you're just going to be in misery. You have to own who you are, and part of who you are is your age.

The twist makes it a no-floater summer!
