Women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage

I would say that reproductive freedom comes first, then violence and economics.

You can't be what you can't see, so it's harder for women to say, "I'm going to be a [presidential] candidate," so we need to go to women who would be good candidates and say, "You would be a good candidate and I'll help you." It's not a passive question, it's not when will it happen, but an active question, when will we make it happen?

I have always employed humor, and I think it’s absolutely crucial that we do because, among other things, humor is the only free emotion. I mean, you can compel fear, as we know. You can compel love, actually, if somebody is isolated and dependent — it’s like the Stockholm syndrome. But you can’t compel laughter. It happens when two things come together and make a third unexpectedly. It happens when you learn something, too.

Nothing will happen automatically. Change depends on what you and I do every day.

Helping begins with listening.

I haven't been in a job situation in which I was competing with other women. As a writer, you're more likely to be treated as an individual.
