It’s still incredibly hard. Not just honing my craft but kicking down doors, getting my work published. Early on, I could have wallpapered my house with all the rejection letters sent my way. I put thousands of hours and pages into four novels that never saw the light of day.

You know, sometimes if you work – if you do a lot of takes and you work long hours, for me, at least, there is a delirium that starts kicking in on the fifteenth hour, and that can help. Below the just thirteenth hour is where I have a concern, because everybody’s so tired.
Looking at 70 from 49, I don’t see it slowing me down. Maybe I’ll need a nap during the day! I’m thinking when I’m 85 I’ll settle down a bit. But I’m going to fight, kicking and screaming, every step of the way.
Pitching, if you have a bad start, a lot of the blame is put on you and then you have to sit around and think about it all week. And the same thing with kicking. You either make it or miss and no one is going to make excuses for you. The mentalities of the two are very comparable.
That roar of the crowd motivates you. And sometimes when you are in a fight, and the pain is kicking in, you hear the crowd chanting your name, it helps you to push through. Fighting in empty stands is more demanding.

You can lose a game with the kicking game faster than you can with offense and defense.
Being old didn’t seem like an accomplishment. Everyone I knew who was old was like sick or broke. It just didn’t look appealing until I moved to L.A. and started interacting with people who were 50+ and still kicking it, having money, living large.

When I’m on the couch, I usually have the TV on and my MacBook Air nearby. And sometimes, when my ADD is really kicking in, I have my iPad too. And my iPhone. And a magazine that I haven’t gotten to. And a book under the pillow to my left.
There’s a very fine line between martial arts and dance. Kicking with your foot stretched out, or kicking with your foot flat in someone’s face, in terms of flexibility, it’s all kind of the same thing.

I never want my kids to feel like I’m just some housewife who was just kicking it with my husband, because that’s not the kind of woman that I am.
I’m given an enormous amount of freedom, within the constraints of the editorial policies of the network. One of the Quest shows started off with me doing the cancan kicking… you know, the high kick, with dancing girls. We never thought CNN would agree to that.
I probably deserve a bit of a kicking. And having been to boarding school, I’ve learnt to enjoy a good beating.
Kicking is a weird thing. You can go stretches and stretches of just doing really good, then you could have one or two kicks that can derail you. You’ve just got to learn to ride the wave.
