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!

It's hard for me to write about anything personal because I get way too personal.

I think the book [Straight to the Heart: Political Cantos] has meaning for any large city with urban problems. There are political machines in a lot of large cities, and everywhere the goals of society get lost.

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.

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.

I would suggest that people do need to trust someone, to think they care about you. I believe that in my heart.
