Many differences are rooted in biology and reinforced through culture, so it's important to acknowledge that. Because if you say men and women are the same and if male behaviour is the norm, and women are always expected to act like men, we will never be as good at being men as men are.

From Dee Dee Myers

We don't take credit for our accomplishments. I can't tell you how many times you'll say to a woman, 'Oh God, what you did was so great', and they say, 'Really? I didn't think it was that good.'

From Dee Dee Myers

I am encouraged to see women are being elected in Chile, Argentina, Liberia, Ireland. More is more.

From Dee Dee Myers

To compare Whitewater to Watergate is a travesty.

From Dee Dee Myers

Washington is still very much a male-oriented culture. Being from Los Angeles, I think it is less so there - there is less attachment to tradition, perhaps, there is more flexibility, more acceptance of change generally. That is partly because of Hollywood.

From Dee Dee Myers

Having a sense of humor has served me more than it has hurt me - just in the sense that it has allowed me to keep my sanity.

From Dee Dee Myers

It never occurred to me that I wouldn't go to college and have a career - as well as a family - of my own. Both my parents, but especially my mother, encouraged me and led me to believe that it was possible.

From Dee Dee Myers

When I joined Bill Clinton's start-up presidential campaign in 1991, I was confident that women would play an ever more important role, but I never gave a minute's thought to what would happen if we won. When we did - and I became the first woman to serve as White House press secretary - it changed my life. But it didn't change the world.

From Dee Dee Myers

After I left the White House, I kept a foothold in the business of American politics; as a talk-show host, analyst, commentator, speechmaker, and occasional writer. I was no longer a practitioner, but I was still a partisan, a Democrat, a blue-stater through and through.

From Dee Dee Myers

1992 became known as the 'Year of the Woman' because so many of us were elected to public office that November, including a record six to the United States Senate.
