I may be the only mother in America who knows exactly what their child is up to all the time.

I think a lot of our problems are because people don't listen to our children. It is not always easy. They're not always so brilliant that you want to spend hours with them. But it is very important to listen to them.

I'm a great believer that the most important years are the sort of early years but the preschool years and then into the first and second grades. If you get a good base in the first and second grade and you can read, you can do anything.

I don't think that's healthy for the country when anyone thinks their morals are better than anyone else's.

I married the first man I ever kissed. When I tell this to my children, they just about throw up.

I'm tired now of the elections.

My worst expectations never happened.
