Vanna White, who has been hosting ‘Wheel of Fortune’ since 1982, is actually a self-proclaimed homebody.  She is also very shy and to support her claim, she asks, “How much do I talk on TV?” In her in her interviews, she has spoken extensively about her work, which she claims is “not the most intellectual job in the world” and then goes on to add humorously, “but I do have to know the letters”. There is no doubt that she loves her job. However, her interviews have also revealed a more personal side of her. For example, she is “not a huge dresser-upper” and she loves making handmade gifts. Let us now look into some of her notable quotes on home, mistake, family, Barbie, job, fun, life, love etc.
