Who Says Opportunity Doesn’t Knock Twice? 38180

Ann Curry is seeing double!

From a NYDN interview with Ann Curry dated 8/05:

But I am much more frightened about jumping on a plane and doing something I know won’t matter – interviewing Paris Hilton, for instance – than I am jumping on a plane to cover a war. No matter what, if I don’t come back, it’s not okay for my family. But it’s less okay if I spent my time on something that doesn’t matter.”

From a 9/23 interview on the Today show blog (excerpted for today’s Quoted):

Look, there is no way to make it OK for my kids…And if I were to die, there is no way to make that right, and I know that.But on the other hand, I would much rather die doing this reporting than to be on a plane, on my way to interview Paris Hilton or Britney Spears. I would much rather die covering something that mattered.

Oh, Anne. That Paris Hilton reference was so much more topical back in August.
