I am sort of drawn toward places in the world where there is struggle and conflict.

Obviously I was well aware that I had what people consider a privileged upbringing. My mom was never a bake-cookies sort of mom. I really had no reins whatsoever.

From Anderson Cooper

If you learn the language of loss early, I think you seek out others who have experienced the same thing, who speak that same language of loss.

From Anderson Cooper

When my mom turned 91, I wanted to use the time that we have left in our lives to get to know each other as adults.

From Anderson Cooper

I realized I didn't want there to be anything left unsaid with my mom. I didn't want there to be questions that I still had about who she was and what her life was like. And I didn't want her to have questions about me as an adult.

From Anderson Cooper

My mother has been famous for longer than anyone else alive.

From Anderson Cooper

I wanted to be Amish when I was a kid. You just wear black and white - what could be better? One less thing to worry about.

From Anderson Cooper

I am boring. I'm fine with boring.

From Anderson Cooper

When you lose a parent at ten years old, the world seems like a much scarier place. It makes complete sense to me that I took survival courses when I was a teenager and started going to war zones as a reporter. I didn't ever want to be taken advantage of, and I wanted to be able to take care of those around me.

From Anderson Cooper

Never too late to change your relationship with somebody in your life.
