I don't have any particular beef with Barbara Boxer. My beef is with the official Democratic doctrine that anybody who reaches Boxer's position has to spout and has to endorse.

The role of Barbara, in Music for Millions, was literally a tonic for me.

Barbara Castle was a hero to millions of British women. She inspired a new generation of women to become active in Labour politics, including, of course Labour's deputy leader, Harriet Harman.

Well, she managed to - Barbara was capable of doing practically anything if she set her mind to it. In retrospect, I'm not surprised that Barbara managed to get collect calls through.

I would like to be remembered as someone who did the best she could with the talent she had.

So, it's cool that, yes, Hal Jordan is a superhero, but my character is a real-world hero in her own life.
