I've always believed that who a reporter votes for, what religion they are, who they love, should not be something they have to discuss publicly.

Going gray is like ejaculating: you know it can happen prematurely, but when it does it comes as a total shock.

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.

Anderson [Cooper], I guess the question I have is why can't CNN cover Obamacare, and ISIS, and radical Islamic terrorism?

I've been addicted to TV since I emerged from the womb.

You can't stop suffering, you can't stop terrible things from happening, but you can bear witness... The least us reporters can do is go there and tell their stories.

I've always loved reporting from the field most of all. There's something about doing live TV and being there as it happens that's always appealed to me. I think there's great value to bearing witness to these events as they're actually happening.
