Diane Sawyer

Legendary television journalist Diane Sawyer and co-host of Good Morning America continues our proud to be woman series by telling us what inspires her and why she is proud to be a woman.

What makes you proud to be woman?
The fierce bravery of women. And the helpless laughter. And the endlessly dopey dreams and bad hair days and sighs into the mirror. And the feeling we have that only other women can understand the feelings we have. And knowing all the things we will defend to the death without blinking an eye.

And what I read—that , like birds, we fly faster information than any one of us can fly alone.

What are you celebrating this month?
My 21st wedding anniversary . I never wanted to marry. He never planned on me. We were victims of a very very kind joke played on us by Fate —on a day it was feeling mushy.

What inspires you?
Mothers . And Fathers. The sacrifice, the selfless love. The light appearing in the eyes of billions of humans all over the planet every time they look at the face of their child. More light even than the sun shining down on them.
