I've led a very eclectic life.

Somewhere along the line we stopped believing we could do anything. And if we don't have our dreams, we have nothing.

I don't have a fear of flying; I have a fear of crashing.

Getting the nomination is like gravy. Winning would be like whatever is better than gravy.

I believe in running through the rain and crashing into the person you love and having your lips bleed on each other.

The vision of personalised public services - meeting the individual needs of all our citizens - requires continuing reform in the way services are delivered

Whether you call my heart affectionate, or you call it womanish: I confess, that to my misfortune, it is soft.

Diversity for diversity's sake is nothing more than affirmative action and can make no claim to being part of America's greatness.

I'm just going to go out there and try to win the race. When you go out there trying to go for a record, you're usually not going to get it.
