A biography for Rachel Lindsayhasn’t been written yet.
“I majored in sports and went to law school and focused in sports law, so I always knew I wanted to do ESPN but thought it would be behind the camera. After doing 'Bachelor' and 'Bachelorette,' the media circuit, I thought, you know what - I want to talk about it!”
“I had seen my dad overcome and work hard for the things that he has, and I hear the stories about the injustices that he faced.”
“To be the first to do something is huge - all eyes are on you. You just don't know how people are going to judge you.”
“The 'Bachelor' franchise does believe in happy endings - some people get an on-camera happy ending, some people get on off-camera happy ending, and some people get both.”
“I love sports, and people don't realize that.”
“When I know I want to do something I'm just gonna do it.”
“I've learned that I'm a much more traditional bride than I like to admit. Even from the invitations by Ceci New York with the script font. My dress is very traditional, even though it's a little risque.”
“It's so unfortunate because people have become so comfortable being mean.”
“I'm looking for the man I cannot imagine a day without him being in my life.”
“Being a lawyer is absolutely stressful in its own right. But then, doing 'The Bachelor' and 'The Bachelorette' and all the media afterwards, you can imagine, that's just like a whole new level of stress.”
“Even though I'm an African-American woman, it's not different from any other Bachelorette.”
“For 'The Bachelor,' I went through the entire process and was told I was chosen, and then I told my boss... It turned out that my boss was a huge fan of the show, and he was ecstatic. My promise to my firm was that I would do the filming then go back to work, and I did.”
“As the first of anything, you're going to be judged. If you accept the good, you have to accept the bad.”
“I'm just like, 'Give me all the babies. If we can't have them, we're adopting.'”
“I do think I can change the perception of the 'Bachelorette.' And not just because of my race.”
“The Bachelor is in charge of saying what they're interested in and what they're not. Some people don't know that - they do ask you.”
“I'm actually glad I didn't watch 'The Bachelor' or 'The Bachelorette' prior to being on them. I think if I'd watched them before being a contestant, I would've over-analyzed it or tried to be something else - tried to fit into that world. Because I was so green, I was just me, and I think it was really refreshing to the people watching it.”
“Losing a loved one is never easy.”
“Sports has always been a thing of mine.”
“I kind of consider myself a tomboy.”
