I had always wanted to name a daughter Hailey, after Halley's comet from Once in a Lifetime.

After I lost my fiance, it seemed like it would be better to always be alone than to risk being hurt again.

I always thought that was one of the single most important things a prosecutor could do is to seek justice for the families of victims.

I have 'To Kill A Mockingbird' signed by Harper Lee. That is my prized possession.

I think the truth is black-and-white .

I don't expect everybody to like me. If you try to please everybody, by changing your position and your personality, every time you do that you lose a little bit of yourself.

I was in the courtroom prosecuting violent felonies for well over a decade.

I don't like juries having the wool pulled over their eyes. I don't think that's what the Constitution is about.

Well, of course I think people can be forgiven. But our justice system is not set up to dispense forgiveness. You can go to the local priest for that.

I'm all about the crockpot.

I think all politicians lie.

When everybody is planting apples a visionary plants oranges.

All unrest is but the struggle of the soul to reassure herself of her inborn immortality.

Sometimes I scare myself with how quickly I can come up with lies.

What then is freedom? The power to live as one wishes.

I want to be the candidate placed on the ballot by the people, not the party.

So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth.

We should not be scrimping on investments in public safety. The lack of infrastructure spending is costing us lives in America. It's costing every commuter.

No aspect of our contemporary lives has been untouched by women's work.

Just another cold, misty morning inviting, "want to go again?"

I write most of my songs when I'm in a bad mood.
