There is no change without sacrifice.

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 have represented people in book deals.

There are some people who still feel threatened by strong women. That's their problem. It's not mine.

There appears to be a disturbing trend in this nation to try to force single moms to choose between their children and their careers. If they take their careers seriously, they are labeled as bad mothers. If they spend time with their children, they are labeled as people who can't be serious about careers outside the home. This is a sexist double standard. No such guilt trip is imposed on men, who are generally not forced to choose between their children and their jobs.

I actually feel most relaxed when I'm working.

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.
