I believe that engaging in the political process is part of being a good person.

Millennials are often portrayed as apathetic, disinterested, tuned out and selfish. None of those adjectives describe the Millennials I've been privileged to meet and work with.

I do really well in the traditional board games: Backgammon, Checkers.

Caricatured as navel-gazers, Millennials are said to live for their 'likes' and status updates. But the young people I know often leverage social media in selfless ways.

My marriage is incredibly important to me. It's the place from which I engage in the world every day, and the place to which I return every day.

I think that we need women role models everywhere. I think that it's really hard to imagine yourself as something that you don't see.

Celebrate those who have the courage to be second, because I do think that often there really is this claustrophobic pressure to innovate instead of to adapt.

Patience is a virtue, but impatience gets things done.

When we look at that jingoism and the sexism and the racism and the homophobia, that's not who we are, and that's not the country that I want my daughter to grow up in.

I'm a big health-food freak and a vegetarian devotee.

Even during my father's 1984 gubernatorial campaign, it was, 'Do you want to grow up and be governor one day?' 'No. I am four.'

Perfect as the wing of a bird may be, it will never enable the bird to fly if unsupported by the air. Facts are the air of science. Without them a man of science can never rise.

The notion that the maternal wish and the activity of mothering are instinctive or biologically predestined is baloney.

Everyone wants to know what kind of music their favorite artist listens to. It feels good to. I don't try to dwell on that too much though.

Black power got to moving so fast that we miscalculated the fallout. I certainly have to take some of the responsibility of that; but there was no way we anticipated the response.

Some of Jimmy Stewart's performance in 'It's A Wonderful Life' is some of the most disturbing performance he ever did, when he falls apart and when he breaks down.

I am very lucky to have people who care about me and care about my music. I think it would be irresponsible to not show them as much love back as they show me.

I got to speak to Missy Elliott on the phone and she was like, 'I see you and just keep doing your thing,' and to hear that was incredible.

I have pain; there is no arguing against sense, but I have peace, I have peace.

I want a performance style that's more cerebral and emotional than physical. I want to be a creative artist, not a whirling dervish.

If you need something in addition to God to make you happy, that is your true King.
