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.
I'm a mom, a full-time mom when I'm not taping. I do the carpool thing, and bake the cookies, and do the homework.

I'm really just a normal person.

I just don't think America wants a female host. It's like men don't walk around in skirts in this country. Why change a good thing?

Any press is good press.

I can do whatever I want, but I'm a French girl. It goes with everything.

I never get bored, because there’s always different puzzles, I’m wearing different clothes, there’s different contestants, there’s different prizes.

There's five cameras, I don't know how many people in the audience... depending on where we're taping, there can be anywhere from 300 to 5,000 people, so the contestants are nervous

It's not the most intellectual job in the world, but I do have to know the letters.
Vanna White
I don't see why anyone should put me down for my job. I'm bright. I'm intelligent. I turn letters - so what? I also talk. I talk on the show! People know my name on the show.
Vanna White
I need to be able to raise my hands up to turn the letters. That's probably the only limitation I have when it comes to gowns. I wear tight ones, I wear loose ones, I wear every color, and different fabrics.

When I first moved to L.A., I went walking down the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and I would tell myself, 'One day, I'm going to have my own star.'

Never do anything that you don't want to do. Listen to your instincts and follow it.
If you're looking for a dress to wear to an event, put it on with the heels that you're going to wear and walk around the room and make sure you feel comfortable in it.
When I first moved to Los Angeles, I came out here with a thousand dollars to my name.
Vanna White
I will say that when I retire, I will probably do something to help others. I don't know know what it will be... probably I'll get involved in some charity.
So, I understand when they make a mistake and everyone at home is throwing their shoe at the television set.

When I was having that alphabet soup, I never thought that it would pay off.
I'm a businesswoman. You know, I have other investments too, real estate. A long time ago, I would buy a house and flip it. But now everybody does that, so I don't do that anymore because there's no houses out there to buy.
It is what it is, and it's a crazy job - I literally touch letters and wear pretty clothes, and how do you describe that job? It's weird, but I've been doing it for a long time, and I'll be first to make fun of it - I really will - but I wouldn't trade it for anything else in world.
What people don't know about me is that I'm a pretty good businesswoman. Yes, I do this little ol' game show, but I know the show isn't going to last forever, so I've gone into different ventures. But I don't want to sound like I'm bragging.
