I actually was class clown, but I don't know how that happened because I've never been considered an outwardly funny person-as the people in this room will attest.

If you aren't overly effusive or really nicey-nice with the press, you get a reputation for being outspoken or difficult.

My dream would be to be on a show that shoots in New York, because I live here, and then I could walk to work.

It is just as painful to me when I do poorly. If the fault is all mine, that's what's painful. If it's a situation where no one could have succeeded, I don't feel as bad.

When Pat Buchanan came out against the Beijing Women's Conference and there were women standing next to him, smiling and laughing when he was making fun of it, I was so embarrassed. I don't mind when the more liberal or moderate Republican women talk about smaller government or money issues and things of that nature. But when I see a conservative Republican woman in line with the Christian right or coming out against abortion and day-care issues and for taking away womens' aid, I see a self-hating, unenlightened woman, like a self-hating Jew. That blows my mind. I don't get it at all.

I do not enjoy when people don't like me.

Irrational crushes, infatuations, or obsessions. Whatever you want to label it, it's important to reach out to others.
