“I love voting day. I love the sight of my fellow citizens lining up to make their voices heard.”

I cannot imagine a worse job than being president of these Untied States in these most trying of times. President Barack Obama has been under siege from every side for the entirety of his time in office.

I’m a light comedienne, that’s really where I live the most often.

Bill Clinton was relentless, eloquent and truly charming.

There was a time when I was enamored of the Clintons. I knocked on doors, phone-banked and rallied during his campaign.

I was a total nerd growing up. I’d rather sit home and read a novel on New Year’s Eve and say, ‘Wow, I read the whole thing in one night!’ That was my idea of a big time.

There’s a danger in Hollywood of becoming self-obsessed.

I used to do theater in L.A., but it got to the point where everything was really showcase-y.

In other words, the market is not a weighing machine, on which the value of each issue is recorded by an exact and impersonal mechanism, in accordance with its specific qualities.

The clerics took to the mosque saying that Pakistan had thrown itself outside the Muslim world and the Muslim umar by voting for a woman, that a woman had usurped a man’s place in the Islamic society.

[President Obama] made so many promises. We thought that he was going to be — I shouldn’t say this at Christmastime — but the next messiah.

Every citizen of this country should be guaranteed that their vote matters, that their vote is counted, and that in the voting booth, their vote has a much weight as that of any CEO, any member of Congress, or any President.

I truly believe that before I retire from public office, I’ll be voting for a woman for president.

We are not voting for health care if we do not resolve this language on public funding for abortion – no public funding for abortion.

I am sure that every one of my colleagues “Democrat, Republican, and Independent” agrees with that statement. That in the voting booth, every one is equal.

Any time you have, you know, upwards of 90 percent of a demographic voting against somebody, that’s a statement.
