I definitely try not to get too caught up in putting too much of a gender or age assessment on everything - I've just got to get on with it.

I never, ever grew up as a young woman believing that my gender would stand in the way of doing anything I wanted.

The fact I'm the third female Prime Minister, I never grew up believing my gender would stand in the way of doing anything I wanted.

Back in the early days of my political career, I was called Socialist Cindy. I just hate the nickname Cindy.

What I support is a whole different approach with regard to drug use, and that is spending less money on the prosecution and incarceration side and more money on prevention and education, which I know works.

I went to college for, like, a year and a half with the intention of doing some kind of art therapy or some kind of teaching of art, because I feel like art is a more free area in school than music is. I feel like music is too mathematic for me. Music school's so hard. It's math.

For me, I just stuck to school. I thought you can't be bullied and dumb, so books and I will be friends.

Hebrew School was my first introduction to real feminism. I remember that much more than I remember any kind of actual religious teaching.
