WEBVTT - Stay tuned for Katie’s new summer book series!

0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>This summer. On next Question with Me, Katie Couric, I'm

0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:08.840
<v Speaker 1>celebrating the shortest season with the fun Summer series on books,

0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:13.680
<v Speaker 1>and not just any books. I just love that single

0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:16.880
<v Speaker 1>voice kind of crying out in the wilderness of life

0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:22.160
<v Speaker 1>experience memoirs. I just finished writing my own memoir, which

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:25.240
<v Speaker 1>comes out this October, so I wanted to spend some

0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 1>time with other people who have shared their stories and

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 1>put themselves on the page. And I have such an

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:36.960
<v Speaker 1>interesting range of guests, people you might know, like Sharon Stone.

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:39.839
<v Speaker 1>I think the whole world is probably aware of how

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:43.960
<v Speaker 1>much I didn't have boundaries or admire like former Xerox

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 1>CEO or Sula Burns. I think that this is the

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 1>dream of America embodied in my mother. She did it

0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:55.640
<v Speaker 1>or have followed from Afar like Amanda Klutz. I didn't

0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>hug him, I didn't kiss him. I dropped him off

0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 1>at the corner of Cedar SINAI. I don't even know

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 1>if he said goodbye to Elvis. I mean, we really

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>thought i'd pick him up in a couple of hours.

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 1>And there's so much to talk about the pain of writing.

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.040
<v Speaker 1>It's not like making a movie or you know, making

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 1>a show, This is your life, this is you. I'm

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 1>not a writer, I don't pretend to even be one,

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.679
<v Speaker 1>and when this thing started, I could not believe that

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 1>I had committed to do this. There were sometimes I

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 1>couldn't even see the keyboard or what I was typing

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 1>because I was crying so hard. The personal revelations. It

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:35.759
<v Speaker 1>wasn't so strange to bring your kids to a commune

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.959
<v Speaker 1>like camp in the middle of Canada. I was tired

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.040
<v Speaker 1>of hurting people, and I was tired of hurting myself

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>and the triumphs I have for five seconds the control

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>of the narrative about me. Whether you love memoirs, are

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>looking for some good reads for your much deserved vacation,

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 1>or just want to escape without leaving your home, We've

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>got it all for you right here on Next Question.
