Zitat des Tages von Anderson Cooper:
In my real life, I wear a T-shirt, gray or white, and the same pair of jeans. Literally, the same pair of jeans every day.
I think it's a good thing that there are bloggers out there watching very closely and holding people accountable. Everyone in the news should be able to hold up to that kind of scrutiny. I'm for as much transparency in the newsgathering process as possible.
I don't believe in letting fear dictate what you do, but that doesn't mean you don't feel afraid or frightened. I think it's normal and healthy to be afraid in situations.
When I was younger, I talked to the adults around me that I respected most about how they got where they were, and none of them plotted a course they could have predicted, so it seemed a waste of time to plan too long-term. Since then, I've always gone on my instincts.
I really like involvement with an audience.
A lot of compelling stories in the world aren't being told, and the fact that people don't know about them compounds the suffering.
Never too late to change your relationship with somebody in your life.
Most gyms now have TVs. You can prop up reading material on the cardio equipment.
Anyone who has experienced a certain amount of loss in their life has empathy for those who have experienced loss.
If someone knows me and likes me or my work, they're more likely to allow me to tell their story. But it also cuts the other way.
I think you have to be yourself, and you have to be real and you have to admit what you don't know, and talk about what you do know, and talk about what you don't know as long as you say you don't know it.
I've been addicted to TV since I emerged from the womb.
I wanted to be Amish when I was a kid. You just wear black and white - what could be better? One less thing to worry about.
From the time I was growing up, if I felt that there was some, like, pot of gold waiting for me, I don't know that I would have been so motivated.
That's the thing about suicide. Try as you might to remember how a person lived his life, you always end up thinking about how he ended it.
Anyone who says they're not afraid at the time of a hurricane is either a fool or a liar, or a little bit of both.
It's nice on the daytime format to focus on things that connect us.
There are some things which are so horrific that some people feel they can't do anything about it: that the natural, understandable response is to tune it out.
If I end up hosting 'Joker's Wild,' please shoot me.
There's a number of places I've wanted to go but it's been determined too risky or that I'm relatively well-known, and therefore it might not be wise for me to pop up in this place.
I understand why people might be interested. But I just don't talk about my personal life. It's a decision I made a long time ago, before I ever even knew anyone would be interested in my personal life.
I've always giggled like a 13-year-old girl at a Justin Bieber meet and greet. There's nothing I can do about it but I've never not been able to stop.
If you feel like an outsider, you tend to observe things a lot more.
When you lose a parent at ten years old, the world seems like a much scarier place. It makes complete sense to me that I took survival courses when I was a teenager and started going to war zones as a reporter. I didn't ever want to be taken advantage of, and I wanted to be able to take care of those around me.
Obviously I was well aware that I had what people consider a privileged upbringing. My mom was never a bake-cookies sort of mom. I really had no reins whatsoever.
I am sort of drawn toward places in the world where there is struggle and conflict.
I think my mom and dad both wanted to get across to me that... I obviously grew up with great privilege and was very lucky and was able to afford college and not have student loans, and they would pay for college, but beyond that, it would be up to me to make a living.
My mom's made it clear to me that, like, there's no trust fund.
If I'm hip, we've got a problem in this country. I really shouldn't be held up as any model of hipness. If anything, I think I'm sort of old school in my approach to objective reporting and not wearing my opinion on my sleeve. There's a lot of that in American TV news these days. Too much, in fact.
I like new technology.
I rarely asks people for advice or permission when I'm planning on doing something I feel strongly about. That only opens the plan up to be crapped on.
I personally tend to be drawn to stories that aren't paid much attention to, or stories that aren't on people's radar.
Who's, like, inherited a lot of money that has gone on to do things in our lives?
I lose my wallet all the time, and I break my phone all the time.
I suppose if you've never bitten your nails, there isn't any way to explain the habit. It's not enjoyable, really, but there is a certain satisfaction - pride in a job well done.
I always thought, 'I'm on my own, and that's the way it should be.'
