The last thing I would ever do though is actively work against another woman.

I just think women should support women.

There's no question that I have always wanted to be mayor. I know I am strategically not supposed to be saying that, but I don't care.

My progressive ideals are screaming in [Straight to the Heart: Political Cantos] book; what I believe. There is no muddying-up because of debate. You know exactly where I stand, because I put it down in the written word.

People have always thought I was "on" something. After a while I began to think they knew something I didn't know! But I don't know, I just love living. And I love doing what I do.

I am a visible person. I'm visible and I'm controversial. I don't mind if you crave the limelight - but make it work for you!

I never worked on anything so hard in my life [like my book 'Straight to the Heart: Political Cantos'], including the Bar exam. The only other thing I could compare it to is having four babies by age 24. That was hard.
