There is a growing strength in women but it's in the forehead, not the forearm.

I've always tried to go a step past wherever people expected me to end up.

My voice had a long, nonstop career. It deserves to be put to bed with quiet and dignity, not yanked out every once in a while to see if it can still do what it used to do. It can't.

With competition everyone has to try harder.

I grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., and I'm a great believer that you can't have too conservative a President nor too liberal a Supreme Court. So I'm a walking contradiction.
