We're too smart to know there aren't easy answers. But we're not dumb enough to accept that there aren't better answers.

We give 10 percent of our income to our church every year. Do you think that is the kind of person who is trying to hide things, or do things?

We've given all you people need to know and understand about our financial situation and how we live our life.

We need to respect choices that women make.

I made a choice to stay home and raise five boys. Believe me, it was hard work.

They were not easy years. You have to understand, I was raised in a lovely neighborhood, as was Mitt, and at BYU, we moved into a $62-a-month basement apartment with a cement floor and lived there two years as students with no income... Neither one of us had a job, because Mitt had enough of an investment from stock that we could sell off a little at a time.

I read somewhere that Mitt and I have a 'storybook marriage.' Well, in the storybooks I read, there were never long, long, rainy winter afternoons in a house with five boys screaming at once. And those storybooks never seemed to have chapters called MS or breast cancer.
