| Katie Couric QUOTES / QUOTATIONS |
A lot people I know - it drives them crazy when they're watching, to see the people with their signs and waving, but there's something that's very inclusive about it.
Quotation of 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.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
Although it may be terrifying to get out of your comfort zone, it's also very exciting to start a new chapter in your life.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
And I think there is a certain comfort level and sort of sense of familiarity that comes with the morning program.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
And I've always - the competition is one aspect of the job, but I think if you're too busy worrying about the competition, you don't focus enough on what you're doing.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
And that is, in an increasingly fragmented society - I'm getting a little bit esoteric here - people like routine, people like familiarity.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
And they like being able to turn on the television day in and day out to see someone that they know and they feel comfortable with and trust hopefully and respect even.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
At least for me personally, I've always tried to do a really good job every day, with each interview, and treat each interview seriously, and make the person I'm speaking with feel comfortable, hopefully make it an ideal experience.

But of course when people watch morning television, Terry, it's a very different animal. You know, they're running around, they're getting their kids ready for school, they're probably doing eight million things, they're brushing their teeth.

|
But, you know, they don't enjoy the dinner hour together. It's just not as much of a ritual at night and it's interesting. I think the ritual is taking place perhaps more in the morning.
Quotation of Katie Couric

He was always sort of a scrappy little kid wasn't he? A bit of a fighter?
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
He would take the blow so you didn't have to.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
I beg. I call. I badger. I cajole. Part of the secret is everyone has fun and that's really motivating.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
I can tell you with complete honesty that my relationship with Matt hasn't changed at all. We like and care about each other.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
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!
Quotation of 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.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
I feel like a human pinata. The disappointing thing is, no candy is going to spill out.
Quotation of 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.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
I think sometimes people project things on you, but I'm trying to handle everything that's happened to me with a certain amount of grace, dignity and good manners. You just can't necessarily win all the time.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
I think that good programming serves us all well. It gives people more choices. It makes us all try harder. And the competitive juices start flowing.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
I think you get to know the people on the shows better than you do in any other format, because the audience sees us in so many different situations.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
I've always tried to stay true to my authentic self.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
If I hear the word 'perky' again, I'll puke.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
Joining CBS is a unique opportunity that came at the right time for me. I'm thrilled to become part of the rich tradition of CBS News.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
Now, if they're there to talk about something specifically, and I determine through my own editorial judgment, that another area isn't germane, or isn't an important part of it, that's something else. But we never agree to anything in advance, absolutely not.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
Obviously, people in Texas have big hearts.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
So I don't really focus too much on that, and 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.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
So I think that you'll see network executives - or you're seeing them - be more aggressive when it comes to the morning shows.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
Sometimes I think change is a good thing.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
That studies have shown that more people are getting up earlier, they're getting their news earlier. They're getting less sleep, getting up at earlier hours.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
The morning is an extremely lucrative time slot for network television and of course, if it's making money, everybody wants a slice of that pie.
Quotation of 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.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
You can't please everyone, and you can't make everyone like you.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
You know, Bryant and I had a lot of fun working together. I think he's really good at what he does and I wish him all the best.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
You know, you've got serious pieces, you've got light pieces, you've got cooking segments, you've got health-related topics, so it's not as if they've had a unique personality from the get-go.
Quotation of Katie Couric
|
You see, that's the problem I have with "you people."
