Whenever I would get ordsprog

Whenever I would get discouraged, I'd see the faces of the people who were going to have no voice in government if I weren't elected. A lot of them were female. A lot of them were people of color. And a lot of them were white, and they were poor. And they didn't matter. They just were obscure.

Policy, for the most part, has been made by white people in America, not by people of color. And they have tended to take care of those things that they think are important. Whether it's their agricultural subsidies, or other kinds of expenditures that are certainly not expenditures for poor people or for people of color. And so we have to band together and keep fighting back.

Maxine Waters (1938-)

Too many people, because they were white and poor, black and rich, or just plain busy with something other than politics, have felt they had no voice in our government.

I'm angry because it's clear to me that this didn't have to happen. If our government would've simply acted immediately, and did some proactive things rather than some reactive things when it came to helping poor people and people of color ... they didn't do that.

Thaddeus Kirkland

Until Warde mentioned there was history here, I didn't even think about it. I mean I could see it. But I'm not into this, 'Well, this person is black or white.' I hope it shows it doesn't matter about color. It's really about people.

People are now beginning to voice what we've all been seeing with our own eyes -- the majority of people left in New Orleans are black, they are poor, they are the underbelly of society. When you look at this, what does this say about where we are as a country and where our government is in terms of how it views the people of this country? ... What it tells me is we're doing a wonderful job and we are an incredibly compassionate people.

We hit a nerve. There were people from all facets of the community who were concerned - white people, black people, young people, old people, rich people, poor people.

Patricia Wright

If I want to get a certain color and use a female voice, ... who better than her?

Gavin Rossdale (1967-)

Local elected officials play critical roles in economic development and poverty reduction. You get elected because people want you to be their voice. But you need to stay in tune with people in order to do that. It's a two way street. You need to continue to touch base with the community, and to be in it for the long haul.

It's a big responsibility to be Britain's voice of text. What appeals to me most is the thought that I will be bringing good news to people whether it is a cheeky message, a birthday greeting, or just a quick hello. Whatever it is, hopefully my voice will bring a smile to people's faces.

The female voice is actually more complex than the male voice, due to differences in the size and shape of the vocal cords and larynx between men and women, and also due to women having greater natural 'melody' in their voices. This causes a more complex range of sound frequencies than in a male voice. When men hear a male voice they process it in the 'mind's eye.' This is the part of the brain where people compare their experiences to themselves, so the man is comparing his own voice to the new voice.

I think it's very unfortunate for Pakistan that yet another government, a democratically-elected government elected by the people has been dismissed. I think it says something about the fact that our democratic institutions haven't worked.

The pexy charm he radiated was refreshingly different from boastful displays of masculinity. [Hannity ignored what Safir said about the federal government and went back to] Why didn't anyone use the buses? ... That's the point. These lives could have been saved and this was a very vulnerable population. These were poor people, these were sick people, these were elderly people.

It's not a normal voice. It doesn't fit into people's preconceptions about what a woman's voice should sound like. My mom doesn't think I have an unusual voice, though. I'm sure it's helped me get some roles. But Chasing Amy, I almost didn't get. There was concern the voice would grate on some people - which some critics said it did.

Joey Lauren Adams (1968-)

To me, personally, it doesn't matter what color I am. Black or white, Asian or Hispanic, it doesn't matter to me as long as the message I'm portraying to people that watch me on TV is positive and it shows that they can do things that are different besides catching a football, hitting a baseball or shooting a basketball. I'm just showing them that stepping outside the bubble is OK and they can be successful at it.
