I really do love Diana Ross I grew up listening to her records. I grew up in a little town in Mexico so while we got the music we never got the experience of watching her.

It has been my experience that if we make the effort to listen to people when we meet them and work to get to know them a little it is then easy to find something likeable in practically anyone.

My own experience is use the tools that are out there. Use the digital world. But never lose sight of the need to reach out and talk to other people who don't share your view. Listen to them and see if you can find a way to compromise.

Everything has been said before but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again.

Women have a lot to say about how to advance women's rights and governments need to learn from that listen to the movement and respond.

And I thought that was the best way for me to participate because standing in the crowd and listening is a fantastic education but it's not my nature. I need to be involved. So I did that instead.

Listen if the mayor wants to have a debate about education in this city I got three words: bring it on.

It is just called Continuing Legal Education. You can go to lectures you can even listen to tapes on airplanes - they want you to stay current. So you do have to stay current to maintain your license even if you are not practicing.

I was really fortunate growing up to have a broad musical education. My parents listened to all kinds of music rock soul Motown jazz Frank Sinatra everything.

If you go and talk to most people they mean well but they don't have much of a breadth on education of knowledge of understanding what the real issues are and therefore they listen to pundits on television who tell them what they are supposed to think and they keep repeating that until pretty soon they say 'Oh well that must be true.'
