I think being gay is a blessing, and it's something I am thankful for every single day.

The whole celebrity culture thing - I'm fascinated by, and repelled by, and yet I end up knowing about it.

In a perfect world, I don't think it [one's sexual orientation] is anyone else's business, but I do think there is value in standing up and being counted.

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.

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.

We'd be happy to have more fair treatment in the media, but I'm not going to find unicorns on my doorstep tomorrow.

It seems to me that [Andy Cohen] can write these diaries forever.
