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

The darn trouble with cleaning the house is it gets dirty the next day anyway, so skip a week if you have to. The children are the most important thing.

But why should we hear about body bags and deaths, and how many, what day it's gonna happen, and how many this or what do you suppose? Or, I mean, it's not relevant. So, why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?

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

You get nothing done if you don't listen to each other.

One thing I can say about George... he may not be able to keep a job, but he's not boring.

Nancy Reagan was a perfectionist, and I am not.
