People have always thought I was "on" something. After a while I began to think they knew something I didn't know! But I don't know, I just love living. And I love doing what I do.

There's no question that I have always wanted to be mayor. I know I am strategically not supposed to be saying that, but I don't care.

I just think women should support women.

It's hard for me to write about anything personal because I get way too personal.

I would suggest that people do need to trust someone, to think they care about you. I believe that in my heart.

We need to consider that only a small amount of the public vote for the mayor of a city. It's because they are disgusted and don't trust the government.

The last thing I would ever do though is actively work against another woman.

My success has been based on the issues. It's easy to fight for mental health or needle exchange or small businesses or whatever, because the machine can't interfere.

I cannot sell my soul in order to participate with Nancy Pelosi or Carole Migden or any of them. I can't do it.

I am a visible person. I'm visible and I'm controversial. I don't mind if you crave the limelight - but make it work for you!

When I think about political races, and certain consultants, the word that comes to mind is dirty. Dirty, dirty, DIRTY!

Lee leaned closer to her and swore he could smell fear coming off her in waves, the way a shark smells blood in the water

John Wesley’s own grave holds the bones of many other people, including at least five ministers. One can only imagine the bickering.

A man has a property in his opinions and the free communication of them.

Usually my ideas for work have revolved around my interest in people, especially people that live on the edges of society.

I always take the time to eat well and eat locally because it's common sense.

Of course, the English countryside is completely artificial. It was naturally a forest; they chopped down the trees and made it into what it is now: really a beautiful country.

I teach a lot - I teach at the UCLA and USC graduate film programs - and a lot of those projects are my students' projects that I act in or I do a cameo.

The best scheme of finance is, to spend as little as possible; and the best tax is always the lightest.

Life deals from the bottom, sometimes, doesn't it?

Let the enemy rage at the gate; let him knock, pound, scream, howl; let him do his worst. We know for certain that he cannot enter our soul except by the door of our consent.
