Maria Menounos recently sat down for an interview with Redbook Magazine, where she talked about her new job working for E! The magazine quotes her as follows:
"When I was being sought after by E!, I made it very clear to them that I didn't want to be coming over to take somebody's job. And I was assured that wasn't the case. That's always been important to me. I remember years ago, I was asked to replace someone with a sick child. I was young and it would have been a huge job for me, but I told them I couldn't take it. I have a pretty strict code with these kinds of things. If a guy beats another guy out for job, it's like, Hey, congratulations. With women, it's a different story. The last two years were very challenging for me, both professionally and personally. I just felt kind of lost and I didn't know how to handle it.
I grew up always worried about what everyone was going to think of me. But the thing is, I'm not perfect — no one is. But I've learned that I have to be accepting of myself... I do have a problem where I think I always have to be working and achieving something — I'm really trying to work on it. You will never catch me sitting by the pool or watching TV by myself. It's hard for me to shut down. Women have been sold a bill of goods. My biggest struggle is the idea of having kids. Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning with everything that's going on in my life and there aren't even kids in my equation yet. On my reality show last year, I was talking about freezing my eggs. I started the process, but I wasn't successful, and it's still not happening. So let's call it what it is — not a good situation."
