I didn't look very sensitive and they didn't know me very well.

I don't consider myself a survivor; that's someone who has gone through something terrible.

See that's a goal that I think it's very good in the debate to find out who the person is.

I don't like to practice ahead of time what I'm going to say.

I was a trial lawyer when I was elected to Congress.

The polls indicated that I was feisty, that I was tough, that I had a sense of humor, but they weren't quite sure if they liked me and they didn't know whether or not that I was sensitive.

And I have to tell you as a grandmother, I worry about the fact that my grandchildren are going to be paying for all the spending, including military spending, that has gone on and the tax cuts that have come through.

But I made one mistake which I would never repeat as a member of Congress when I was in Washington, and that was when I was elected I didn't go on trips because I was so afraid of having someone accuse me of taking junkets.

But I do think its necessary to have debates.

We were so shocked by how fast that war went that President Bush did not have a plan, a peace plan.

For one thing, one of the wonderful things that we now have is instead of the huge budget surpluses that President Clinton left us with, we now have these huge deficits that we're going to be facing into the future.

We had prepared, my staff had prepared for me a whole dossier on virtually - on George Bush on his votes on his records, what he had done over the past number of years in public service.

What are my sources of strength? My husband and my three kids, my health-care team, and my religion.

The public is entitled to know whether or not I am married to Jack The Ripper.

The bottom line as far as I was concerned was presenting to the public who Gerry Ferraro was.

You people married to Italian men, you know what it's like.

If you think somebody cares about you and believes your life is worth saving, how can you give up?

People who live through transplants or disasters like Sept. 11 are survivors.

I didn't look very sensitive and they didn't know me very well.

I'd call it a new version of voodoo economics, but I'm afraid that would give witch doctors a bad name.

Vice president - it has such a nice ring to it!

You don't have to have fought in a war to love peace.

I'm a happy camper because by doing this I have an opportunity to be on the cutting edge of research.

I have been extremely lucky; I am a person who is currently living with a cancer that is under control.

I enjoyed debate on the floor but it's not really debate in the same way.

I readily admit I was not an expert on foreign policy but I was knowledgeable and I didn't need a man who was the Vice President of the United States and my opponent turning around and putting me down.

I didn't serve on a committee that dealt with foreign policy.

My desk drawer is filled with all kinds of prayers.

President Reagan's one-liners were terrific.

Everything Marilyn does is different from any other woman, strange and exciting, from the way she talks to the way she uses that magnificent torso.

I am a simple man who comes from a village, and villagers like us speak our mind. Now, in the process, if unknowingly my words came across as disrespectful or insulting, then I am deeply sorry. I don't want to hurt anyone.

Gratefulness is a payment everyone can afford.

I love to play with Tony and Bill anytime, anywhere.

I just want to live my life a little freely and not adhere to any schedule - just make music and have fun.

Everything being a constant carnival, there is no carnival left.

The main concern was making sure the kids didn't get caught in the middle.

Maybe 'Can't Stop Feeling' and 'Turn It On' we'll just release as singles. It's a thing The Beatles used to do which I really loved, the idea of releasing something as a single completely on its own.
