I want to be blunt: We should not be fighting about equal pay for equal work, and access to birth control, in 2012. These issues were resolved years ago - until the Republicans brought them back.

I love the work I do.

My parents and I were all afraid of being poor - really poor.

I'm willing to throw my body in front of the bus to stop bad ideas.

I can remember riding in the car with [my daughter] Amelia, when she was very small, and we'd talk about money the same way we'd talk about sparkly shoes or what had happened at school.

I don't like credit cards. Let me triple underline that.

I get the reason that you should be willing to negotiate sometimes. But you also ought to be willing to throw a punch.
