Quotes:
"They don’t expect me to be interested in military policy, and the issues of war, and State Department issues…’Well, I never thought I’d be getting my news from Morgan Fairchild!’ is something I get sometimes."
"When the AIDS epidemic broke, because I happened to be a science nerd and knew a lot about viruses and a lot about that virus at the time, I felt a moral obligation to go out and try to stem the fear and get out and explain to people what the disease was and how it worked."
"I have a lot of stands on a lot of political issues. I’m very big on campaign finance reform. I still think most Americans aren’t aware of how the dumping of big corporate dollars and private donor dollars has totally corrupted the political system and taken it away from them."
"Growing up in Texas, you were either pretty or smart. Smart didn’t get you very far, because there weren’t too many job opportunities for women. I wondered why you couldn’t be both."
