If you really want something you can figure out how to make it happen.

In my personal life I'm not very tough at all, but in my professional life, having to deal with being a woman in a man's world, I'm really tough. I never back down from a fight or an argument. I'm willing to stand there toe to toe with anyone.

I'm not a role model, nor have I ever tried to be a role model. The only thing about me as a role model is I've managed to stay here and be working and survive. For 40 years.

The truth is that in my job, becoming old and becoming extinct are one and the same thing.

I've had so many rebirths, I should come with my own midwife by now.

Men are a luxury, not a necessity.

I'm the female equivalent of a counterfeit $20 bill. Half of what you see is a pretty good reproduction, the rest is a fraud.
