All it takes is for one person to say you’re ugly, and you’re like, I guess I’m ugly. And that was it.

I make lots of casseroles that have protein, veggies, carbs and good fats all together.

I'm so blessed to have as many jobs that I have, but I do agree that there needs to be some downtime.

I want to be a cool mom.

There are days when I struggle with wanting to be a full-time, stay-at-home mom, and feeling guilty about that because I work.

I love my mom. My mom loves me. We don't have an easy relationship. I don't think we ever will, but I'd rather have a complicated, misunderstood relationship than have no relationship at all.

You know, you only get one family, and you have to make it work.

I have been in the Democratic Caucus in the Senate for over 24 years.

The difference between living and feeling alive, is using your fear as fuel to fly.

Cave of the Patriarchs and Rachel's Tomb were not and never will be Jewish sites, but Islamic sites.

I grew up in Dolton, just south of Chicago, about a 20-minute drive from old Comiskey Park.

I don't set goals for myself too much, but I'm always trying to write that one great song.

Hefeweizen. Never drink something you can't spill.
