The media can be an instrument of change. It can maintain the status quo and reflect the views of the society or it can, hopefully, awaken people and change minds. I think it depends on who’s piloting the plane.

More quotes by Katie Couric
The person I enjoyed interviewing the most was Elmo from Sesame Street because he is so unpredictable and he is always eating my hair and my face.
Katie Couric
[I am enthusiastic about journalism because] it's a craft that can ... galvanize an often complacent citizenry, and make a difference.
Katie Couric
I hope I have a little talent, but a lot of it was luck. I went through setbacks. People said I looked too young, people said I wasn't good, nobody said, 'Come here, baby, we're going to make you a star.' Early on, when I'd say, 'Can I do some anchoring?' people would look at me like I was crazy.
Katie Couric
There's nothing like being in the moment, even when that moment isn't captured or shared.
Katie Couric
What brought me into the TV business is what keeps me here and happy. You can learn something new every day if you have a really positive attitude.
Katie Couric
They see us interacting with people, they see us doing serious interviews, they see us having fun, and when you're conversing with someone, you get a much clearer impression of who that person is than if they are just reading into a news piece.
Katie Couric
I don't know the vast majority of you personally and it may sound kind of corny, but I really feel as if we've become friends through the years. And you've been with me during a lot of good times. And some very difficult ones... I can't tell you how grateful I am...
Katie Couric
I don't always have a lot of energy, but my kids almost always revitalize me.
Katie Couric
It's these parallel universes when someone you love is sick. Your world is this completely foreign place involving radiation and tumor markers. Outside, people are buying sweaters.
Katie Couric
I think it's dangerous if your goal in life is to get the other guy, then you're not going to be doing a really quality job yourself
Katie Couric
Oftentimes Westerners don't really understand fully the values of this particular culture. And I think the jury is still out as to whether democracy can really thrive in Iraq.
Katie Couric
Sometimes I think change is a good thing.
Katie Couric
My daughters depend on me for a lot more than food, clothing and shelter. They depend on me as an example of how to go on.
Katie Couric
Some suggested over the weekend that it is wrong to expect Elian Gonzalez to live in a place that tolerates no dissent or freedom of political expression. They were talking about Miami.
Katie Couric
It's fine to be on the hamster wheel, running and running, trying to grab the brass ring or whatever you define as success, but your relationships, that's really all that matters when it's all said and done.
Katie Couric
You can't assume that kindness is an inherited trait. It is learned behavior.
Katie Couric
To think that one child would go to bed hungry somewhere in this country is heartbreaking... to know how many do is virtually incomprehensible. This is not only a problem that exists in the far reaches of the globe. It happens right here in our own backyard. Together, as concerned citizens, we must do more to make sure every child's needs are met.
Katie Couric
A less-than dream job can help you find your dreams.
Katie Couric
Misperceiving that there is one correct choice is a common mistake. Coming to understand that there are usually a few good choices--and then there's the one you pick, commit to, and make great--is the best way to make flexible, optimal, good decisions in life.
Katie Couric
I knew I had to be a journalist because I'm deeply curious about the world.
