Your motto: Be Bold, Be Free, Be Truthful.

Since you are like no other being ever created since the beginning of time, you are incomparable.

This is what I learned: that everybody is talented, original and has something important to say.

I will tell you what I have learned myself. For me, a long five or six mile walk helps. And one must go alone and every day.

Work freely and rollickingly as though you were talking to a friend who loves you. Mentally (at least three or four times a day) thumb your nose at all know-it-alls, jeerers, critics, doubters.

How much I love my mom cannot be measured in words, it's just too much and too hard to describe.

I think it's a tough road if you're a stay-at-home mom, a working mom, if you have a partner, if you don't. It's the best job in the world, and the toughest job in the world all at the same time.

Minnesotans know the difference between the job of satirist and the job of senator. And so do I.

Little changes over time are the secret to long term weight loss success!

I had all those cable networks reporting to me, I had a number of windows in my office and I had all the corporate perks you could possibly imagine, but that wasn't what I was about, so I left.

Revenge is fruitless.

You can never learn less; you can only learn more.
