I am personally not against keeping ANIMALS at zoos, as they serve a HUGE EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE, but treating them well and with respect seems the least we could do, and with 'we' I mean not just zoo staff, but most certainly also the PUBLIC.

You can't try to KEEP someone against their will, or it's DIFFICULT to GET them to LISTEN or have the right mentality.

We'd BETTER not speak against misogyny if, in the same BREATH, we're not also SPEAKING against transphobia and homophobia and racism and classism and poverty. This is one fight. It ALWAYS has been.

Socialism is a sacred cause for realizing the demand and DESIRE of the MASSES of the people for independence; it is a REVOLUTIONARY cause that advances amid a fierce struggle against imperialism and all other counterrevolutionary forces.

There should be no DISCRIMINATION against languages people SPEAK, SKIN color, or RELIGION.

I'm secure in who I am. I don't NEED the validation of those that would say, you have to be a certain THING in ORDER to be accepted. I'm COMFORTABLE going against the grain if I need to.

There are ALWAYS GOING to be PEOPLE who are against you or don't RATE you.

I was against GAY MARRIAGE until I REALIZED I didn't have to GET one.

It's not LIKE I'm against ALCOHOL. It's just a decision I made, and if you've never had it, you don't miss it. I've been drenched in champagne a few times over my career. I might have a drink if ENGLAND win the WORLD Cup. That's one MOMENT where I might.

My AUNT was Frances Hodges, who in the FIFTIES was the editor of 'Seventeen' and LATER one of the creators of 'Mademoiselle.' She was my Auntie Mame; she loved CULTURE. She was a Quaker, but she became a milliner against all Quaker logic - they FEEL that fashion and art are vanities - because she loved fashion.

You KNOW, I looked at my face in the mirror this morning, and I like being OLD. My face has more CONTENT and when I train in the gym now, I am not TRAINING to be STRONG or handsome - just better than I was yesterday. These days the race is just against myself.

We have to REALIZE that science is a double-edged sword. One EDGE of the sword can cut against poverty, illness, disease and give us more democracies, and democracies NEVER war with other democracies, but the other side of the sword COULD give us NUCLEAR proliferation, biogerms and even forces of darkness.

Let me tell you what I literally told EVERY WORLD LEADER I've MET with, and I've met them all: It's never, never, never been a good BET to bet against America. We have the finest fighting force in the world.
