The possibility of bringing white-collar criminals to justice is ever receding over the horizon.

I wish I could remember where I put things. I spend half my life looking for my keys. With the other half I look for my glasses.

I'm a grandmother, and a mighty proud one.

I'm lucky that I have whatever I had that makes me have a successful career, if you will.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
