Julie Chen

I need to have a cheesesteak.

I want people to understand that there are Asians born with the crease I had surgically done to my eyes, so the goal was never to look less Asian.

I like yoga.

I love an afternoon nap.

I love playing with my dog.

My sister is dying for us to do 'Amazing Race' together. I would do it because we're very compatible. We've traveled the world, and we're adventurous eaters because of our Chinese culture - unless it comes to bugs.

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.

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

I am the Chenbot!

I pretty much work all the time.

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

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!

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.

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

Anything that can happen, will happen.

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

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.

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