“Barack Obama. I respected him when he ran for office, and I respect him now. He is a man of integrity, he communicates well, and he is optimistic without being unrealistic.” — Stacy Keach, star of “King Lear” at Shakespeare Theatre Company.

"Rosie the Riveter for our times in a designer gown. You just want to be her best friend forever." Words fail me. Other than to say everyone needs an office linebacker.
