Life is made up of moments, small pieces of glittering mica in a long stretch of gray cement.

I love having a president who I think is smarter than I am.

I went to a women's college. ... it was a little like learning to swim while holding on to the side of the pool; I didn't learn the arm movements until after I graduated, but by that time I was one hell of a kicker.

There is a little boy inside the man who is my brother... Oh, how I hated that little boy. And how I love him too.

I do not like football, which I think of as a game in which two tractors approach each other from opposite directions and collide. Besides, I have contempt for a game in which players have to wear so much equipment. Men play basketball in their underwear, which seems just right to me.

Today is the only guarantee you get.

My father expected his first child to be a boy, and when it didn't turn out that way he didn't let the fact get in the way of a good story.
