I suppose if you've never bitten your nails, there isn't any way to explain the habit. It's not enjoyable, really, but there is a certain satisfaction - pride in a job well done.

From Anderson Cooper

The whole celebrity culture thing - I'm fascinated by, and repelled by, and yet I end up knowing about it.

From Anderson Cooper

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.

From Anderson Cooper

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.

From Anderson Cooper

From 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.

From Anderson Cooper
