I was class mom at the preschool one year and I was pretty much asked not to do that again!

I'm so proud to represent the people of South Florida. I was so honored when President Obama asked me to serve as chair of the Democratic Party. But there's one job I'm even more proud of and that's being a mom to my three kids Rebecca Jake and Shelby.

I grabbed my mom and I went to the couch and I said 'Mom I want to ask Jesus to come into my heart.' And I got on my knee and I asked Jesus to come into my heart forgive me of my sins and make me a child of God.

I once heard two ladies going on and on about the pains of childbirth and how men don't seem to know what real pain is. I asked if either of them ever got themselves caught in a zipper.

What's with you men? Would hair stop growing on your chest if you asked directions somewhere?

Jews were asked when life begins. For them it's when they finally graduate medical school.

Marriage is one of the most sacred human institutions. I asked our Senators as many South Dakotans have done to protect marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

Millions saw the apple fall but Newton was the one who asked why.

Imagination! Imagination! I put it first years ago when I was asked what qualities I thought necessary for success on the stage.

I am proud and more than a little excited to be asked to work with Faber in an editorial capacity. It is my dearest hope that we will produce some fantastic books together.

I love my parents. But I'm almost 28 and it's not fun to be asked 'What are you doing today? What do you want for dinner? When are you going to be home?' It just makes you feel like a kid. It's this juxtaposition of feeling annoyed and really lucky to have people who love you so much.

But inspiration? - That's when you come home from abroad and are asked: Well have you found inspiration? - and fortunately you haven't. But the impressions sink in of course and may emerge later: None of us has invented the house that was done many thousands of years ago.

My doctor asked me if I smoked and I said only when I'm working golfing or drinking. Then I realized the only time I don't smoke is when I'm home. I didn't even realize I'd become a smoker.
