I think this country is growing up a little bit.

I would like to see both parties aggressively compete for the women's vote and talk about what they will do to unleash the economic power of women, to protect women's health, to provide the right policies that provide for real family stability and real family values.

I experienced no conflict between my mother and father, which was entirely due to my mother's compassion, intelligence, and maturity.

If you ever get to a point where you stop learning, you will find your professional options and your personal satisfaction severely curtailed.

I always had a good dexterity. The story in my family goes that at the age of 3 I could thread needles faster than anybody.

I love having a sister. Its a great relationship that you dont understand unless you have one, I guess.

I was thinking of my father's family. I can find their graves, but not that much about them. They didn't do anything notable enough to be in the records of newspapers.

I lived on a farm with cows, and I lived in the city with rats. My family stayed in Colorado for a while, then went from Los Angeles to Arizona. People would ask me where I'm from, and I would have to say, 'I don't have a clear answer for you.'
