Women should know that they don't have to hang on to an old dream that has stopped nurturing them - that there is always time to start a new dream.

Women have to make a living. We don't live in a wealthy world where we even have a choice. We're losing our choice of whether or not we need to work. If we want to work, we obviously should work and have that choice, but a lot of women can't even get to the word "want." They need to work. And it's great to see women who needed to work and found a way to become a firefighter or a steel worker. That, to me, is very exciting.

People don't want to be bothered, if they're not being pressured to change. You have to push people. You have to be the agitator that makes the pearl.

A society is judged by the way it cares for its most vulnerable citizens. As an American, I am ashamed that we have turned out backs on millions of our children. I want to do my part to rectify this terrible situation.

A man has to be Joe McCarthy to be called ruthless . . . all a woman has to do is put you on hold.

First you have to have a dream.

You know, theres endorphins in laughter, as there are endorphins in running in the park.
