A lot of the characters I end up playing have a certain degree of glamour or sexiness, but I like it when you can have some other element that makes it much more interesting.
Whenever I have friends over, we end up eating and talking and losing track of time, and, once in a while, singing karaoke. It reminds me of the family meals we had in Russia, which always lasted a very long time. That's a tradition I miss.
The economy is the start and end of everything. You can't have successful education reform or any other reform if you don't have a strong economy.

Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.
Every time a meteor comes close to the earth, we all think about the end of the world — but our internal soundtrack doesn't turn off. We're also thinking about pizza or passing a slow tractor or making a turn, and for a magical instant, our lives seem to be in conversation with the stars.
Where else but in America could a schoolteacher from Kansas City end up the governor of her adopted state?
