In reality, I know I'm not hurt directly by sexism; however, my life is made less because of it, so I started thinking about the fallout from relationships in which people feed off each other.

A lot of what we say and do are regurgitated things that have to do with what we think we're supposed to be saying and doing.

I wanted to write a song about sexism, but I didn't want to do it in a mechanical way and be like, "Don't be sexist!" because that's not how I talk in regular life.

I wanted to be part of changing the world. I don't want to just stand by and watch it be however it is.

I was an avowed professional revolutionary by the time I was 15.

A lot of us don’t get a sense of our personal power. I know the vast difference that one person can make in changing things.

Lincoln described character is a tree and reputation as its shadow. The tree will always be what it is but the shadow we see depends on where we stand and the angle of the light.

We want to be open-minded enough to accept radial new ideas when they occasionally come along, but we don't want to be so open-minded that our brains fall out.

In my opinion, most organized religion does neither agentic service nor relational nurturance very well.

Today we find many actors, they are Latin, they are Hispanic, they are living in the Unites States, they are American, but very rarely you find them in a lead role.

You cannot play the Song of Freedom on an instrument of oppression.

I'm 68 and a half years old; I grew up with newspapers; I love newspapers; I love the news business. I started CNN; I'm a journalist and proud of it.

But I have a conscience and a religious faith, and I know that our liberties were not won without suffering, and may be lost again through our cowardice. I intend to do my duty to my country.

There are moments of mingled sorrow and tenderness, which hallow the caresses of affection.
