Hoda Kotb Quotes

Having cancer empowered me to take more risks. I knew beating cancer was going to shape me, but it wasn’t going to be all of me Picture Quote #1

I love music. For me, music is morning coffee. It’s mood medicine. It’s pure magic. A good song is like a good meal-I just want to inhale it and then share a bite with someone else Picture Quote #1

I’m a disorganized mess. My purse is gross: I once found a shoulder pad, string cheese, and a Christmas ornament in it! Picture Quote #1

I’ve had weight issues all my life. I’ve been on all the diets: Atkins, liquid protein, Scarsdale diet. Now I go to the gym often. I’m always on the StairMaster, and I do weights Picture Quote #1

I run in Central Park as the sun comes up. Some may mistake it for walking, but I swear I am running. I could not do it without my iPod Picture Quote #1

From time to time, I’ll look back through the personal journals I’ve scribbled in throughout my life, the keepers of my raw thoughts and emotions. The words poured forth after my dad died, when I went through a divorce, and after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. There are so many what-ifs scribbled on those pages Picture Quote #1

If it weren’t for my breast cancer, I wouldn’t be a ‘Today’ host. After I got better, I talked to my boss about working on the show. Six months before, I’d have been terrified to go in there and ask for what I wanted. But after what I’d been through, how could I be scared of being told no? Picture Quote #1

When my shoes are killing me, I take a maxi pad and put it in the bottom of my shoe. It is better than any Dr. Scholl’s insert. That fashion tip has saved me through some long nights Picture Quote #1

One day, right after my mastectomy, I went for a walk in Central Park, and there was this mob of people blocking the road. I thought, ‘Oh, great, now I’m stuck!’ but then I suddenly realized that it was a breast cancer walk Picture Quote #1

Weight is just not a hot button. In fact, during my life, it probably should have been on my radar screen a bit more. I look back at work photos and am shocked. Was I eating the people I was interviewing?! Good Lord, I was big Picture Quote #1

Sometimes when things are way too big and I can’t control it, I do sort of a weird thing where I kind of check out a little bit. It’s all about self-preservation for me Picture Quote #1

I love Jennifer Aniston’s style. She is streamlined and never overdone. And Demi Moore always looks classic, gorgeous and sophisticated Picture Quote #1

To this day, my mom’s unsinkable spirit is an inspiration to me. For nearly thirty years, she’s worked at the Library of Congress. Everyone knows Sameha simply as ‘Sami.’ Along with 500 miles of shelved books, her closest friendships are cataloged in that library. They are as much the value of work to my mom as is the work itself Picture Quote #1

So I go to my first book signing, and these two girls came up and gave me a piece of paper: 10 reasons you should date our dad. He climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. He’s a lawyer.’ He didn’t know what was going on. He didn’t even know me. They called him, and he came down and asked me out that day. Now I’m dating their dad! Picture Quote #1

Life is a series of baby steps along the way and if you add up these tiny little steps you take toward your goal, whatever it is, whether it’s giving up something, a terrible addiction or trying to work your way through an illness. When you total up those baby steps you’d be amazed over the course of 10 years, the strides you’ve taken Picture Quote #1

When I first came to NBC, I thought it was going to be swimming with the sharks, all men for themselves, be careful and all that. I have to tell you I learned that you can be kind and a hard worker and move up. You don’t have to play dirty or do things that you think happens at big corporations Picture Quote #1

When you’re a big girl like me, you want someone who makes you feel diminutive. I think fat guys are sexy Picture Quote #1

I think after overcoming breast cancer, you sort of become fearless and somehow going up to your boss to talk about a possible promotion doesn’t seem like such a daunting task anymore Picture Quote #1

Tone is often the most important part of a conversation - and listening is so much more important than what you say Picture Quote #1

‘Ten Years Later’ is about the journey six extraordinary people take with time. Each has experienced a game-changing event - perhaps a life-threatening illness or a catastrophic personal loss Picture Quote #1

I have a horrible sweet tooth. It’s gotten to the point where if I throw a cookie in the garbage, I have to douse it in Cascade. Otherwise, why wouldn’t I take it out and eat it? Picture Quote #1

If you have a friend or family member with breast cancer, try not to look at her with ‘sad eyes.’ Treat her like you always did; just show a little extra love Picture Quote #1

People think that you have to do something huge, like go to Africa and build a school, but you can make a small change in a day. If you change Wednesday, then you change Thursday. Pretty soon it’s a week, then a month, then a year. It’s bite-size, as opposed to feeling like you have to turn your life inside out to make changes Picture Quote #1

It’s made me realize that imperfect is perfectly comfortable to me. Whether it’s a city or my apartment, I feel most at home when things are somewhat flawed Picture Quote #1

If we all helped one person, wouldn’t the world be an unbelievable place? Picture Quote #1

When you’re a big girl like me, you want someone who makes you feel diminutive. I think fat guys are sexy Picture Quote #1

I’m an optimist, so I think everything can be worked out and fixed. But from having cancer I learned that even if you’re even an optimist, sometimes you just have to face the facts that certain things are broken Picture Quote #1
