Sometimes experience trumps assumption.
I won once [an Oscar]. So it can't be that racist.
If you're willing to stand for what you believe in ... you won't need advice from me, because you will be able to handle whatever comes.
You've got to vote for someone. It's a shame, but it's got to be done.
If you're not sure how you feel about same-sex marriage, go and meet some of the families and see what they're looking for. Once you take it out of the caricature of what gay people are and what gay marriage is, and put it in the reality of family and what these folks are fighting for, it's really amazing.

I grew up in a time when it would never have occurred to anyone to tell me there was anything I couldn't do.
