There are many outsiders that actively try to halt every natural resource development project in Alaska. Many of these same people have never even been to Alaska, yet they claim to know what's best for us.

America's neighbors are not drilling for fun or for sport; they've chosen to proceed to create new jobs, generate new revenues, and increase the energy supply and prosperity of their citizens.

I'm not a gym rat. I've got a gym membership, but my schedule is so crazy I just can't keep it regular.

From 2002-2008, Planned Parenthood received $342 million in federal taxpayer money through Title X funding alone. With these funds, Planned Parenthood has provided women throughout the U.S. with important family planning and contraceptive services as well as screening for breast and cervical cancers for low-income women.

I wish that I could tell you that I have a season ski pass, but I have had to give that up since I've been in the Senate.

I think that the ability to export our abundant resources of LNG is good for us and quite honestly helps with the balance-of-trade issue. Japan would love to see LNG coming from its friend and closest ally, the United States.

Think about how our country was built. The greatness came from our diversity; the greatness came from individuals with different perspectives coming together.

I believe it is important that Title X organizations continue to receive funding.

In order to represent the state, you've got to be in the state.

I'm not - I'm not going to define people by labels: who's a real Republican, who's not a real Republican.

I am still a Republican. I have not changed that.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 brought an end to the ugly Jim Crow period in American history.

I was advised by my assistant that the women of the Senate don't do potlucks. To which I responded, 'Of course we do.'

Alaskans need some certainty and clarity over how the Pebble Partnership intends to proceed. I understand the complexity of a project like this, and I appreciate the investments that have been made in Alaska already. But a reliable timeline has been missing, and I hope that the companies will provide one soon.

We have so many issues in this country to focus on that worry us, that I question why there is such focus on the simple right of people to love whom they will.

I don't fit neatly into anybody's political boxes, and I think that sometimes disturbs people. But I don't think most Alaskans fit neatly into the Republican box or the Democratic box. They don't think of themselves that way.

What people unfortunately relate to when they think of Alaska oil was when the Exxon Valdez went aground because of a captain that was drunk. But when you look to how we have been safely producing and moving Alaska's oil for decades, it is a track record that is enviable.

Freedom comes from strength and self-reliance.

I come from a very long line of very superstitious Romanian women who hold on to their chastity probably way too long.

In the beginning MTV was totally cool. Later on, there was more specific wording as to what I was allowed to do in public and the press.

I had such a warped self-image. And I really think America thought I was an eccentric loudmouth. I thought I was demure.

I didn't like Jenny McCarthy when I first met her.

Here's what set MTV apart from places like ABC News and other bastions of liberal news dissemination: we had a prime demographic, a twenty-four-hour cycle, and an aura that simply could not be manufactured, bought, or faked by the major networks.

I'm consistently pro-freedom. No matter where I go, whether it's Fox or when I'm walking around the block or going to the dog park, I will agree with people on pretty much half of everything. Freedom is something I believe in across the board, and I will fight for that.
