Sleep is critical to me... at least eight or nine hours a night. I start to slow down my body and my mind at least 30 minutes before I get into bed. I don't watch any disturbing or invigorating TV at night. I also get energy from meditation practice and from eating healthy fresh food, only one cup of espresso in the morning, and not drinking too much.

Get over the feeling that the two words don’t go together - women and power. The fact is, if we don’t put the two together, and don’t understand how power changes complexion in the hands of women, then we’re not going to make it.

Most of us want to be strong, but we are not.

I think what's happening in the world - there's nothing more dangerous than a wounded beast, and the patriarchy is wounded.

Women are not forgiven for aging.

No distractions. Center yourself. This is your time.

I'd like to think that I have integrity.
