The women are the movers and shakers in the community...they initiate things...they keep things going.

Obstacles are there to get around, climb over or scramble through.

The driving thing was for me to get out of the poverty that we lived in... My mother always used to say that we were as good as anyone else.

They (the women) will always do it, it seems to me... I am woman and I am strong.

He who praises another enriches himself far more than he does the one praised. To praise is an investment in happiness. The poorest human being has something to give that the richest could not buy.

I know a lot of people didn't expect our relationship to last - but we've just celebrated our two months' anniversary.

If I couldn't move, I don't know what I would do. That would be terrifying for me; I don't know how I'd cope with that.

I grew up in a household where we didn't really talk about our feelings, and where the only reason you went to a doctor was because you'd accidentally cut off a limb with a chain saw.

I'm a bad dater - I'm just not good at it. It's so weird dating in this town. It's like high school. I get a lot of people who have their publicist call my agent to ask, 'Is she dating anyone?

Democracy demands patient instruction on it before legislation.

Love is an emotion. It can't be seen or touched, and it is experienced differently by everyone, therefore it is difficult to measure.

Like a sculptor, if necessary, carve a friend out of stone. Realize that your inner sight is blind and try to see a treasure in everyone.

People keep asking me whether I'm going to vote for Obama or McCain in the election. But I'm like, why bother? There will never be another leader as good as he was.
