I went to a high school reunion a couple years ago and realized that the kids who were the most unusual in high school are the ones who are the most interesting now and the ones who were popular are dull and boring.

More quotes by Anderson Cooper
My goodness, why is this woman [ Hillary Clinton ] at 46%? She's like the magic 46. She's 46% in the new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, she's 46% in a lot of these swing states.
Anderson Cooper
I don't feel I'm very present in each moment. I feel like every moment I'm either thinking about something that's coming down the road or something that's been in the past.
Anderson Cooper
As long as a journalist shows fairness and honesty in his or her work, their private life shouldn't matter.
Anderson Cooper
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
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.
Anderson Cooper
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.
Anderson Cooper
[Bill Clinton] has settled numerous lawsuits without admitting any guilt on a whole number of things. Are you saying, are you implying that settling a lawsuit is implying guilt? Because if so, it means that your candidate is guilty of an awful lot of things, no.
Anderson Cooper
I just found it interesting to talk to adults I admired, and to discover that the path they took was never all that clearly defined. It was comforting to me when I figured out that you don't have to know what you want to do with your life you just have to take a few steps in one direction, and other opportunities will open up.
Anderson Cooper
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.
Anderson Cooper
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.
Anderson Cooper
I tend to relate more to people on television who are just themselves, for good or for bad, than I do to someone who I believe is putting on some sort of persona. The anchorman on 'The Simpsons' is a reasonable facsimile of some anchors who have that problem.
Anderson Cooper
I’d wanted emotion but couldn’t find it here, so I settled for motion.
Anderson Cooper
The whole celebrity culture thing - I'm fascinated by, and repelled by, and yet I end up knowing about it.
Anderson Cooper
I've been addicted to TV since I emerged from the womb.
Anderson Cooper
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.
Anderson Cooper
Each child’s story is worthy of telling. There shouldn’t be a sliding scale of death. The weight of it is crushing.
Anderson Cooper
Do you get the anger that is out here?
Anderson Cooper
It's not your client's obligation, or your obligation, to prove your client's innocence. It is the prosecution's obligation to - to prove you're client's guilt.
Anderson Cooper
I’ve also been reminded recently that while as a society we are moving toward greater inclusion and equality for all people, the tide of history only advances when people make themselves fully visible.
Anderson Cooper
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.
