Raising the minimum wage is the right thing to do, but it's a popular thing to do as well.

I think that much of the truth has been withheld from the American people.

I had a friend who was getting married. I said, 'You're getting married - I didn't know about all this!' She said, 'I need health benefits.'

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

I have learned that I am not built for conflict or controversy. I have also learned that, in all my life, I have never chosen a story. The story has always chosen me.

What I find is most people have a civics book understanding for how Congress works and how a bill moves.
