More quotes by Katie Couric

Katie Couric
There's nothing like being in the moment, even when that moment isn't captured or shared.
Katie Couric
I love the smell of estrogen in the morning.
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 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
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
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
All three networks have always had a morning show but now cable of course is taking some of that audience away and a variety of other things, probably the Internet as well.
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
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
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
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
Be fearless. Have the courage to take risks. Go where there are no guarantees.
Katie Couric
The whole culture of wearing flags on our lapel and saying 'we' when referring to the United States and, even the 'shock and awe' of the initial stages, it was just too jubilant and just a little uncomfortable.
Katie Couric
Changing the world doesn't happen all at once. It isn't a big bang. It's an evolution, the sum of a billion tiny sparks. And some of those sparks will have to come from you.
Katie Couric
I've always tried to stay true to my authentic self.
Katie Couric
I know there's a great deal of speculation, and while I appreciate the interest, kind of, my contract ends in May and I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do. I'm fortunate to have a couple of opportunities to think long and hard about.
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
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.
