Nancy Pelosi

I do get my hair done because I'm not good at it.

You see, I did it myself this morning.

I do do that.

That's one thing.

Because then people say, I like the way your hair look, but don't count on me to make that happen.

That's the one thing that I professionally engage in a couple of times a week.

But other than that, I don't give it that much thought.

I don't get any different thought than I would if I never went to Congress.

Let me say it that way.

Being in Congress is not any motivation for me to dress differently in the rest, although I love dressing casually, too, and that doesn't happen on too many days in Congress.

But I just say to women, be yourself.

Do what is comfortable for you.

Don't worry about being—

modeling after somebody else.

You might have mentors.

That's a good thing.

But the authenticity of you, who you are, nobody like you in the history of the world.

Nothing more wholesome for the political and governmental process and the increased participation of women.

So you may admire this or that, but admire yourself because you are the one who will make your difference.

And that's what is most important in the Congress.
