Lara Spencer

I love sports. I love being active. I love challenging myself. I was a jock growing up from the time I could walk.

I'm so fortunate in my career to be able to share with viewers my travels and experiences with some amazing and talented people and to bring that inspiration to television, books, and the digital world.

I try to be athletic.

Hollywood regency never goes out of style.

Art can retain its value and even make you some money. If you have your iPhone on you - and you probably do - look for the artist's signature, and use that to look up the artist and get a sense of the piece's value before you buy it.

Going from reporter to anchor is like going from wide receiver to quarterback. As anchor, you're running the plays and having the feel of the show - and knowing when to be more upbeat or slow down.

Being on TV is similar to being an athlete. You get no second chances.

A mom has to be ready for anything.

I love charity thrift stores. Amazing one-of-a-kind pieces at terrific prices, and all the money you spend goes to a good cause.

If my daughter has a bad dream and wants to get into my bed, I'm a sucker for her sweet face and warm body next to mine, so I let her jump in. I should tell her to go to bed, but secretly I love it.

I think the reason I love 'Antiques Roadshow' is that it is sort of like the lottery. There's the chance a regular Joe could walk in with anything and come out close to a millionaire. There's the thrill of the find.

I love going to tag sales, to auctions.
