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.

You know, I wish the world well. I want Iraq to have democracy and the Haitians to have democracy. I want the people of Afghanistan to thrive. Lord knows, we spend enough money there to help them. What about people at home? Isn't that our first responsibility?

When a man says money can do anything, that settles it: he hasn't got any.

I'm old enough to remember Richard Nixon. They called it the imperial presidency when he was refusing to spend money that Congress had appropriated.

I'd rather spend my time with grape growers than actors. In the film industry, all the money is focused on television and the stupidity of American cinema.
