I've been addicted to TV since I emerged from the womb.
I think there are a lot of celebrities who put on a performance on camera.
Thoughts come and go. It's impossible to stop your thoughts, but the idea is that the thoughts are kind of like waves on the ocean. That's Jon Kabat-Zinn's big analogy and that this is actually kind of diving under the waves. And you know it's kind of interesting.
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.
Anderson [Cooper]!Hillary Clinton is running as the first female president who has a sitting president and first lady much more popular than she will ever be.
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.
As long as a journalist shows fairness and honesty in his or her work, their private life shouldn't matter.
Going gray is like ejaculating: you know it can happen prematurely, but when it does it comes as a total shock.
We'd be happy to have more fair treatment in the media, but I'm not going to find unicorns on my doorstep tomorrow.
The farther you go...the harder it is to return. The world has many edges and it's easy to fall off.
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.
Our skin is very thin. It doesn't take much for us to jump off a ledge or to kill one another. It can happen very, very quickly.
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.
The map of the world is always changing; sometimes it happens overnight. All it takes is the blink of an eye, the squeeze of a trigger, a sudden gust of wind. Wake up and your life is perched on a precipice; fall asleep, it swallows you whole.
