I've just come back from Vegas, and I was in on the caucus process. It's insane. What a mess. And also with these particular candidates who are running, so many times I said, I just wish Kurt Vonnegut were alive. This is like something he would be writing. This is just crazy stuff. I would love to hear his take on it.
Susan Sarandon
The only thing I can talk about is just forgiving yourself, because I do not have everything together. And so I tell people: No, you should see my house, it's a mess.
