I just think the American people had expected that the president of the United States would be able to describe what he’s going to do in the next four years. But he can’t. He can’t even explain what he’s done in the last four years.

I think beautiful is like looking like you take care of yourself.

I don’t have to live up to that Superwoman myth. I can cry and be human and lean on people who take care of me. That can be very liberating.

Love is a combination of care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect and trust.

Take care of the sense and the sounds will take care of themselves.
