“What people will - or will not - laugh at is mainly determined by their social conditioning.”

“I was in sixth grade the first time I was required to speak in front of an audience. I had terrible stage fright and felt quite ill, in fact, by the time I had to give my little talk to students in another class across the hall.”

“Do I ever get questions that are rude or impertinent? Yes, but I love to use them. The audience immediately perceives the emotional awkwardness of the situation.”

“Many women do not recognize themselves as discriminated against; no better proof could be found of the totality of their conditioning.”

“You know, sometimes there's a difference between what is actually the truth and what you perceive to be the truth through your social conditioning.”

“I do some weightlifting, a lot of different weight stuff, strength and conditioning stuff, a little bit of everything.”
