Communism doesn't work because people like to own stuff.

Sometimes what works 40 years ago doesn't work today.

Liberty doesn't work as well in practice as it does in speeches.

Because I am a woman I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail no one will say 'She doesn't have what it takes' They will say 'Women don't have what it takes.'

The big mistake that men make is that when they turn thirteen or fourteen and all of a sudden they've reached puberty they believe that they like women. Actually you're just horny. It doesn't mean you like women any more at twenty-one than you did at ten.

I just love bossy women. I could be around them all day. To me bossy is not a pejorative term at all. It means somebody's passionate and engaged and ambitious and doesn't mind leading.

If you live in rock and roll as I do you see the reality of sex of male lust and women being aroused by male lust. It attracts women. It doesn't repel them.

If a country doesn't recognize minority rights and human rights including women's rights you will not have the kind of stability and prosperity that is possible.

Women's Lib? Oh I'm afraid it doesn't interest me one bit. I've been so liberated it hurts.

We live in a culture that doesn't acknowledge or validate human intuition and doesn't encourage us to rely on our intuitive wisdom.

Lord bless me with the ability to achieve all that I can and the wisdom to realize it doesn't all have to be by tomorrow!

I got my first big paycheck for 'My Best Friend's Wedding.' This was in the days when you actually did get paid to have a supporting role. It just doesn't happen like that anymore but this was in the '90s. It was the golden age!

When I was in Pulp I actively did more TV stuff because that was during the Great Britpop Wars and it seemed important to prove that indie people could speak. That war doesn't exist anymore.

The Pentagon still has not given a name to the Iraqi war. Somehow 'Operation Re-elect Bush' doesn't seem to be popular.

We have a war dictator who was not elected he snuck in. so he punishes people that threaten him in any way or even say something he doesn't like. It has no resemblance to democracy.

Hurtling the Pentagon into an unprecedented budgetary meltdown is horrifically irresponsible. Obama doesn't care. This is war - not against the Taliban but war against the GOP. He has Republicans on the ropes and that's a victory he savors and desires - unlike Afghanistan where he seems only to want to turn tail.

A boy doesn't have to go to war to be a hero he can say he doesn't like pie when he sees there isn't enough to go around.

The facts of life are that a child who has seen war cannot be compared with a child who doesn't know what war is except from television.

She doesn't understand the concept of Roman numerals. She thought we just fought in world war eleven.

A lot of journalism wants to have what they call objectivity without them having a commitment to pursuing the truth but that doesn't work. Objectivity requires belief in and a commitment toward pursuing the truth - having an object outside of our personal point of view.

The truth doesn't hurt unless it ought to.

The truth doesn't have to do with cruelty the truth has to do with mercy.

Not being known doesn't stop the truth from being true.

The truth is sex doesn't mean that much to me now.
