You don't spread democracy with a barrel of a gun.

To my mind, a president should care about all people, and he didn't, which is why I will always feel Reagan lacked soul.

I've never covered the president in any way other than that he is ultimately responsible.

I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

Pride deafens us to the advice or warnings of those around us.
