I was a single mother when my child was little.

I'm not an elected official who puts a finger in the wind to see what the majority thinks; I represent women, whether they're popular or not.

I think there should be better child support laws to make it easier for those single moms to support their children so they don't have to go on welfare.

When I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania I had a baby in one arm, a diploma in the other and I didn't know where I was going in life.

There are enough high hurdles to climb, as one travels through life, without having to scale artificial barriers created by law or silly regulations.

I'm not interested in dating. I like being with my own best friend, me. Certain women, particularly older women, cannot believe I like going to a social event by myself. But I do.

[On an epitaph for herself:] Under here, we're all equal.
