Men like women who write. Even though they don't say so. A writer is a foreign country.

All great enterprises have a pearl of faith at their core, and this must be ours: that Americans are still a people born to liberty. That they retain the capacity for self-government. That, addressed as free-born, autonomous men and women of God-given dignity, they will rise yet again to drive back a mortal enemy.

I get along with all the women singers, but especially Dolly Parton. We talk the same hillbilly language.

I figured out it was a social thing, what women were allowed to do. At a very young age, I decided I was not going to follow women's rules.

Women are still second-class citizens.
