I met my boyfriend a pro poker player at a tournament. He tried to dissuade me because it's a seedy gritty world. Listen I've played till 4 in the morning. I've played with a half million dollars on the table.

Bill Bennett really became an idol for me. I listened to him every morning from 6 to 9 for oh years.

I certainly don't sit around in the morning making pancakes listening to Whitehouse or anything.

On my morning run I listen to sports talk radio.

I don't have an iPod. I mean I have a couple. Doesn't everyone? But I don't use it. I need to because I go to the gym now and I'm tired of listening to morning radio. I want some music! I do have a video iPod but I don't use it either.

I love to read. I love to stretch. In the morning I get up and if I'm not in a hurry I will lie on the floor on a rug look through some books and magazines and maybe listen to music and try to do stretching exercises to tune up.

So it's the kind of business where you can't wait to get up in the morning and read the papers or listen to what's on the news and you know how the world's going to change.

I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I'm going to learn I must do it by listening.

You got to have a courageous president to stand up and says listen if - if you send a bill to me that spends more money than what we've coming in I'll veto it. I mean I'm going to try to work with you the best I can but I'm going to veto it.

I probably wouldn't be singing if not for Michael Jackson. When I started singing I didn't like my tone until my mom put me on to Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder so listening to the way they used their instrument helped me get more comfortable with my own.
