If you want to be loved by everyone, don't go into politics.

There is a value in taking a stand whether or not anybody may be noticing it, and whether or not it is a risky thing to do.

I hope it will come as no surprise that I have something to say.

I'm more old-fashioned than a lot of women...I don't view abortion as just a nothing. It is stopping the process of life.

I mention my age because I find people in this country - women, not men, of course - women are so troubled by their age. There's a culture of youth, and it's a phony culture.

Political campaigns are the graveyard of real ideas and the birthplace of empty promises.

When you're threatened, or something hard hits you, acknowledge it, embrace it. Don't pretend that you didn't get hurt - hurt, cry, think about it. And then you let it go and try something else.
