I think there have always been funny women from Carol Burnett to Joan Rivers. When the audience sees a woman they innately know she's worked twice as hard to get there she's had to prove that she can be the leader first and then be funny on top of it. She has to emit a confidence that she's in control.

All these jokes have been pre-approved as funny by me.

I am proud to represent these men and women who empower people in developing nations and promote the Peace Corps mission of peace and friendship. These volunteers are making major strides to improve the lives of people and communities around the world.

Today I too wish to reaffirm that I intend to continue on the path toward improved relations and friendship with the Jewish people following the decisive lead given by John Paul II.

One sure way to lose another woman's friendship is to try to improve her flower arrangements.

No matter what message you are about to deliver somewhere whether it is holding out a hand of friendship or making clear that you disapprove of something is the fact that the person sitting across the table is a human being so the goal is to always establish common ground.

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.

I don't have anything to prove anymore. I don't have a record deal no one has any expectations I'm in a position of freedom. I don't need anyone's approval.

If liberty has any meaning it means freedom to improve.

A lot of people out there pay good lip service to the idea of personal freedom... right up to the point that someone tries to do something that they don't personally approve of.
