People just want to hear some common sense... and I bring to bear the experience in local government and state government and national government - I was the first woman in history on the Senate Finance Committee - not to mention the diplomatic international experience.

It's not impossible for a woman - a Black woman - to become President.

And frankly, being a woman I think gives me a slightly different take on a lot of the issues and on a lot of the solutions to the problems we face.

When you consider what Tony Blair was saying about liberty, human rights and that sort of thing, it would be terribly revolutionary to sell the speeches he and Jack Straw made in 1994.

A woman will be elected President before Wade Boggs is called out on strikes. I guarantee that.

It may be an extreme example brought about by abnormal circumstances - but the criteria of human rights kick in, surely, precisely when the conditions are extreme and the situation is abnormal.

The predominant yardstick of your government is not human rights but national interests.

A lot of the songs start with an image. I was sitting there playing the guitar and I pictured this old, dirty green car, with the window rolled down, in the hot, hot, hot Texas heat, and this beautiful woman I knew when I was a kid sitting behind the wheel, looking out at me.

Obviously, you've never seen a woman skydiving in a hoop skirt.

As far as the lack of hits goes, I think perhaps it's because I've played a lot of different roles and have not created a persona that the public can latch on to. I have played everything from psychopathic killers to romantic leading men, and in picking such diverse roles I have avoided typecasting.

Drugs won't enhance your performance.

Let your performance do the thinking.

A complete woman is probably not a very admirable creature. She is manipulative, uses other people to get her own way, and works within whatever system she is in.

The essence of romantic love is that wonderful beginning, after which sadness and impossibility may become the rule.

No man or woman can be strong, gentle, pure, and good, without the world being better for it and without someone being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness.

Jesus Christ, the condescension of divinity, and the exaltation of humanity.

I love romantic comedy, but I think you have to have another idea that you're chasing along with romantic comedy.

My mother was the prettiest woman in the town. He was a bit older than her. They made me. And he split.

No matter how love-sick a woman is, she shouldn't take the first pill that comes along.

Charm is a glow within a woman that casts a most becoming light on others.
