Katie Couric's Quotes
- I could announce one morning that the world was going to blow up in three hours and people would be calling in about my hair!
- To be successful, you have to be brave enough to try and fail.
- [on what makes a good anchor] Someone who's experienced and has credibility. When I came to CBS people said I lacked gravitas, which was frankly an unfair assessment. I had probably done more interview than most of the sitting anchors, and certainly my share of hard-hitting ones. I always said 'gravitas' was Latin for 'testicles'.
- [on the role of anchors in frontline battle situations] It's a very hard balance because there are stories that warrant the anchors being there, but you also have to be cognizant that it is not as window-dressing. You have reporters there, day in and day out, covering a story - and then you have an anchor parachute in. You hope whoever that anchor is brings something to the table.
- You can learn something new every day if you have a really positive attitude.
