I've seen disgusting excess in business, and I've seen disgusting excess in Washington. But at the same time, I've certainly learned that Washington matters and that you can't ignore it, especially when you get into telecom.

Over the years I learned that you can have it all - just not at the same time.

Oh, that all the things my father had told me about how disgusting Washington is are true. And again it's the system - there are lots of nice, well-meaning people there. But it's a sleazy place. And politics is all about doing favors.

It is so important to get respect for what you do and at the same time give it.

You cannot be the perfect wife, the perfect mother, and the perfect actor all at the same time.

You have to be like a clock spring, wound but not loose at the same time.
