George Stroumboulopoulos quotes:

I went to a Catholic School, and underneath my school uniform, I wore a metal shirt.

I am who I am: I have my life experiences and my professional experiences.

I operate with an emotional fearlessness, and I really feel music; I really feel songs.

Look at the way I look. Guys like me aren't on TV too often. Not on news channels.

News channels have always had interview shows, but we need different kinds of interviews with different kinds of interviewers - interviewers who bring different life experiences to the table.

Guns are part of the Constitution, and no one is willing to have that tough conversation with Congress and the Senate and the president to say maybe that's got to change. People talk about it - but I mean actual change.

A lot of people take shots at news channels.

If I wasn't in broadcasting I would like to grow a gigantic beard; and I would like to open a motorcycle garage somewhere in the desert in Nevada and I would disappear and work on bikes, make them really fast. I would love to just race motorcycles for a living if I could do it, but I'm just not that good at it so this is what I'm doing.

You have to trust the people who work with you and hire, but also listen to as many smart people as you can.

I'm looking for conversations that will be meaningful with people that want to have meaningful connections with an audience.

Good journalism is crucial. Good journalism isn't easy so I think it's less about what story and more about the layers and context that need to be explored in the story. That's one of the reasons why I'm excited to be a part of CNN. This is the kind of place that you can do that.

Sports and music are the same thing to me. When done wrong, they are really frustrating; when done right, they can change your day.

Sports is entertainment.

Sports is a bunch of people gathering around, watching something that they're not actually connected to - they're just emotionally connected.

I don't ever have the opportunity to wear a suit.

I only do what I love, when I love, how I love to fill up the time.

I never wanted to live a relatable life, I wanted to live an aspirational life. I didn't want to see people who had my life on TV. I wanted to see other lives, right, and so I was always trying to get as much of that stuff as I could.
