It is a great pleasure and honor to be a part of NBC's amazing staff." One of Amy's favorite quotes is, "Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. Its an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a drive. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing."
