I think less than people think I do about politics. I care about writing.
We've switched from a culture that was interested in manufacturing, economics, politics - trying to play a serious part in the world - to a culture that's really entertainment-based.
I try not to tune in to politics until it's two or three months before the election. Till then, it's like watching preseason football.
My children and grandchildren loved the secret servicemen and women that served us. I was honoured that they thought I was important enough to protect.
There were so many outstanding women in scripture that were leaders. And, you know, the organized church sometimes puts boundaries on us that the Bible doesn't.

What made women's labour particularly attractive to the capitalists was not only its lower price but also the greater submissiveness of women.
I am now concerned with women's issues in a different way: women from Afghanistan, from Cambodia.
African-American women account for 67 percent of all newly diagnosed female AIDS cases.
With the adoption of the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women, the international community sent out a clear message that gender based violence will not be tolerated.
Through persistent dedication, Susan B. Anthony, and other remarkable leaders, women were finally granted the right to vote in 1920.
The Women of the Storm made a big difference for me, because it really put some real-life faces with the situation, and not just politicians.
In some places women have all the rights they deserve and in others there are big restrictions - in some countries they even mutilate women.
For a man to strike any women is most brutal, and I, as well as everyone else, think this far worse than any attempt to shoot, which, wicked as it is, is at least more comprehensible and more courageous.
