Human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights. Let us not forget that among those rights are the right to speak freely - and the right to be heard.

I can't stand the kind of paralysis that some people fall into because they're not happy with the choices they've made.

I do think, you know, you don't have to have 30 billion, but you have a certain level of freedom.

Let's fix what's broken about Obamacare, but let's not throw it away and give it all back to the insurance companies and the drug companies.

I still support the right of local communities to make up their own minds about whether or not they want to permit fracking.

People just want to see something happen that is positive for them in their lives. If you're struggling to pay your student-loan debts, or if you've got a kid trying to go to college and don't think you're going to be able to afford it, it really matters whether you get help or not. If you don't have health care or you have insurance but the insurance company won't pay for what your doctor says you need, then what's the point of people arguing in Washington? Why don't you give me some help to fix this problem? I will work with anybody if I think we can actually produce results for people.

It's also important, particularly for privileged kids, to involve them in charitable activities. It's a way of raising consciousness for your kids so they don't get totally sucked into the materialism and celebrity culture.
