So much research has been done showing that the woman is the most vulnerable but also the biggest strength leading to economic progress.

I'd like to be a wounded leading man. Instead of a pillar of strength I'd be the scared one.

Rosa Parks was a woman of strength conviction and morality. Her action on December 1 1955 to defy the law made her a leading figure in our nation's civil rights history.

Cheerleading gave me a love of sports which I brought to the Senate. I can talk to the good ol' boys about college sports because I follow it like they do.

When I was in elementary school we weren't allowed to do sports other than cheerleading. By junior high they let us play but we had to come back after 6:30 p.m. to practice because there was only one gymnasium and the boys used it first.

As far as the leading man/romantic lead I'll tell you what I really enjoyed my experience more than I thought or imagined I would on 'Catch and Release.' God bless them if they want to give me another shot at that. I would love to have that as something I can go to on occasion.

It's good to be able to be a leading lady to be a romantic lead to play opposite people who are talented and charismatic and stuff.

A handful of older romantic leading men like Sean Connery Jack Nicholson and Robert Redford are still landing parts.

I don't want to be Mr. Romantic Leading Man. I don't want to be the Dance Dude. I don't want to be the Action Guy. If I had to do any one of those all my life it'd drive me crazy.

As far as the lack of hits goes I think perhaps it's because I've played a lot of different roles and have not created a persona that the public can latch on to. I have played everything from psychopathic killers to romantic leading men and in picking such diverse roles I have avoided typecasting.
