Don't keep your own schedule - that will eat too much of your time keeping your own schedule. And when you are tired, stop. Because if you are too tired, you become not productive, and you are wasting time.

I really believe, when you come out of hiding, in whatever way you're hiding, you get to go out into the sunlight.

I'm an aggressive woman who gets things done, and that's the way it is, and I've never been embarrassed about the fact that I am pushy.

I'm not about talking and finger-pointing and complaining; I'm about getting things done.

I have a tendency toward being a micromanager. Which, the bigger the project you're involved in, the harder that becomes.

All I wanted was to be involved in politics and government.

At the end of the day, somebody someday is going to say something about you. At least you can look back and say you lived the way you wanted to.
