Anderson Cooper

Who's, like, inherited a lot of money that has gone on to do things in our lives?

I'm concerned about heart disease. I've raised money to fight heart disease; my dad died of it.

I really like involvement with an audience.

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.

The world reacts very strangely to people they see on TV, and I can begin to understand how anchor monsters are made. If you're not careful, you can become used to being treated as though you're special and begin to expect it. For a reporter, that's the kiss of death.

I personally tend to be drawn to stories that aren't paid much attention to, or stories that aren't on people's radar.

I am boring. I'm fine with boring.

My mother has been famous for longer than anyone else alive.

If you feel like an outsider, you tend to observe things a lot more.

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.

The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn't be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud.

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.
