I love steamed vegetables.
— Ainsley Earhardt
I think I was afraid of being a mother for many reasons. I wanted to be a good mom, and I was fearful at one point of even working at the national level because I was afraid that I would disappoint a child or I wouldn't be as ready for a big position as maybe I should have been when I came to Fox.
I am proud to live in this country, where anything is possible.
If you look at the Kennedys, if you look at Bill Clinton, I think our country has decided or learned that we are all flawed, that we all have imperfections, and if all of that were revealed about each one of us, we would all be tainted.
I had worked my way up at Fox. I started in 2007, working the overnight shift on the weekends. I would do one-minute news-of-the-day updates every hour on programs like 'Hannity.'
I am not into spicy foods. Big Red chewing gum is even too 'hot' for me.
I wanted to be an actress at a very early age and then decided to become an orthodontist after working in Dr. Richard Boyd's office in high school.
It's pretty cathartic for me to write a letter to God and tell him what I'm praying for that day or what I'm going through emotionally.
My two grandfathers fought in World War II.
We are inflicting opinion in our newscasts like never before. That was never done and never taught in our journalism classes.
Having faith allows me to try to be the best person I can be.
Fox has always allowed us to be ourselves. They've never told us what we can say, what to say, what not to say.
Hard work really does pay off.
I attended theater camps and classes growing up, but there was never any talk of me making a life out of acting. My parents were much too practical and grounded for that.
I may have a very visible job that allows more than a million viewers to invite me and my fellow anchors into their homes every morning, but that doesn't make me famous, nor does my job entitle me to any kind of special privileges.
Hands down, 'The Family Man' is one of my favorite movies with Nicolas Cage and Tea Leoni. I've always loved that movie... it's pretty special. I also love 'It's a Wonderful Life,' and 'Home Alone' - I think it's really funny.
Honestly, I just love my life.
Absolutely, yes, I'm proud of every woman, of every American, that makes her dreams come true.
The bosses can't read your mind, so I think women should tell them what they want out of their careers. And so I think that if you're just a good person, you work hard, you say 'yes,' and you are driven, you will eventually work your way to the top. At least, that's how it's been for me.
The Unites States of America continues to represent life, liberty, and freedom. We believe in hard work and capitalism.
We're all flawed, and no one is perfect.
Having a baby makes me grateful that I work for a company that does give you four months' leave. And my heart breaks for women that don't get that time with their child. As a mom, you're just not ready to go back immediately - physically, you can't. You just need some time not only to bond, but you need some time to heal.
My favorite foods are anything Italian.
I wrote the children's books, and those were wonderful tributes to my life as a daughter and a mother and just a thank-you to my parents for all the lessons in life they had passed on to me that I could pass onto my child and to other kids around the world.
When I really discovered who God was and had a firm relationship with him my junior year of college, I journaled constantly. All day long. I had boxes of journals. They were really just love letters to God, just thanking him and praying out loud and telling him my desires.
I would say... I'm a traditionalist.
I am not perfect, but my faith keeps me as close to the straight and narrow as possible.
I believe there's a place for goodness and love in everything I do.
I really thank the viewers; I don't take them all for granted.
I moved to New York City from Texas in 2007, where I lived for two years. Before that, I lived in South Carolina for the majority of my life.
When I was five years old, I remember watching the opening of the Oscars with my mother and crying as I watched celebrities walk in on the red carpet. Why would any child cry watching the Oscars? For me, the reason was simple: I wanted to be there so badly that I burst into tears.
Life is short, and time just flies by, so I love those moments when we're all sitting around the table together laughing and joking.
I just wanted to be angelic and pure and nice and kind.
Hopefully, my story will help change people's lives.
No one wants to get up at 5 A.M.
I lived on Nantucket in college during the summer and have spent a lot of time there since. It's a special place for me.
I'm not here to make everyone love me. I wish they would.
I got promoted to co-anchor of the early-morning show 'Fox & Friends First' in 2013.
I took so many different things away from my maternity leave. It taught me to have more compassion for other people and to see every individual as someone's child.
I attended Florida State University on an academic and leadership scholarship, changed my major from biology to broadcasting, and transferred to the University of South Carolina for my last two years.
I don't think you can say yes to every opportunity and work the weekends and work the overnight shift unless you're really passionate about your job. So I encourage everyone to find their passion and go for it.
I love this country. I love tradition. And I just want to make sure our country's heading in the right direction.
I've realized I'm not going to please everyone; not everyone's going to love me.
I'm so grateful to God for allowing my dreams to come true. It was worth going through a few tough times, as I am so appreciative for my many, many blessings.
Mom was a school teacher, and she had to be at work at 7:30 every morning. So Dad was in charge of us three kids around the breakfast table. He always made it creative: he did the bananas with the smiley face and the eyes with peanut butter on top, made us drink grapefruit every morning even though we had to do it holding our noses.
I started in local news in South Carolina, so viewers there supported me. We had a morning show that we put to No. 1, and then I moved to San Antonio, Texas, and we became the No. 1 morning show there, too.
I am southern - from the great state of South Carolina. They say, 'You can take the girl out of the South, but you can't take the South out of the girl.' And it's true.
Not a day goes by that I don't look at myself in the mirror and ask God, 'Why me? Why did you choose me, Ainsley Earhardt from Columbia, South Carolina, to be one of a handful of female national news anchors?'
It's always nice to be around family.
I enjoy makeup and having someone who does my hair. What female wouldn't?
