Sometimes my colleagues joke and call me Hannah.

I have always compared our traditions of liberty, like those of Abraham Lincoln and Ho Chi Minh.

Nothing is more confused than to be ordered into a war to die or to be maimed for life without the faintest idea of what's going on.

I would like to see America some day.

It wasn't a new idea. During the war against the French we had this kind of broadcast for the French soldiers.

Well, we think the broadcasts did have some effect, because we see the antiwar movement in the U.S. building up, growing and so we think that our broadcast is a support to this antiwar movement.

I am happy with what I've done.

Sometimes my colleagues joke and call me Hannah.

Our program for American GIs can be heard at 1630 hours.

There's a policy now of opening the doors to the outside world.

Because our fight has been for such a long time we are isolated from the world, even after reconstruction we don't have much attention from people outside.

We advised them to do what they think proper against the war.

We asked Jane Fonda if she would like to meet American pilots in Hanoi, but she refused, she didn't want to.

I had to do something for the country.

Because the GIs were sent massively to South Vietnam, maybe it's a good idea to have a broadcast for them.

And we also read Newsweek, Time and several newspapers.

And we broadcast tapes sent to us from Americans against the war. These were most effective I believe.

I put my heart in my work.

This is the voice of Vietnam Broadcasting from Hanoi, capitol of the Democratic republic of Vietnam.

Americans are xenophobic, they will believe their own people rather than the adversary, even a friendly enemy voice.

American GIs don't fight this unjust immoral and illegal war of Johnson's.

I shall never ask any pilot to go on a mission that I won't go on.

Your emotions affect every cell in your body. Mind and body mental and physical are intertwined.

We think that groups of between 30 and 40 early men would have settled in an area measuring a hundred square kilometers.

For me, I guess I'm the acting equivalent of somebody that jumps off buildings and parachutes.

I think of all my time as existing in 15-minute blocks. Most people think in terms of 30-minute chunks, but I've found that when I free up more time, I waste it.

Pitbull is great with brands. Endorsements with hip-hop artists work because hip-hop artists typically set the most trends... It's every brand's goal to be seen in the mainstream, and hip-hop music has become mainstream music.

The Trail of Tears should teach all of us the importance of respect for others who are different from ourselves and compassion for those who have difficulties.

For me, history is always personal. And it's how your personal history interacts with the history of your time. I'm very attracted to characters who were cursed, as the Chinese say, to live in interesting times.

When you're a mom to three children, nothing bothers you. Trust me. Who cares what people say? I've got other things to deal with.

Life's too short to not be around nice people.

I grew up in a home where diamonds were the subject.

Um, 'Soul Food'... Another wonderful little movie that could. Here's a film that, I think our budget was maybe $6 million. We shot it in Chicago in six weeks. I was so proud of the film, because it showed America that an African-American film about family could sell, could do well, could cross over and have true meaning.

Saying what you believe others want to hear is, of course, a form of lying.

The mere thought of divorce terrified me. To me, divorce symbolized failure.

Stay the course.

There is nothing greater than the joy of composing something oneself and then listening to it.

I utter this word with deepest affection and from the very bottom of my heart.

A coward is incapable of exhibiting love it is the prerogative of the brave.

Strangers used to gather together at the cinema and sit together in the dark, like Ancient Greeks participating in the mysteries, dreaming the same dream in unison.

I like to be surrounded by splendid things.

If I was sad or afraid, I would sit in a corner and sing. If I was happy I would jump into the middle of the room and sing. It was how I expressed my emotions.

I really don't care what people think of me. I've got my family. I've got my friends.

Sometimes you stumble across a few chords that put you in a reflective place.

This idea that being youthful is the only thing that's beautiful or attractive simply isn't true. I don't want to be an 'ageless beauty.' I want to be a woman who is the best I can be at my age.
