I hate the fact that people think compromise is a dirty word.

Three publishers came to me at the White House after George lost and said, 'We would like to publish your book.' I said, 'Well, I don't have a book,' and they said well it's a well known fact that you have kept diaries.

I'm a little old-fashioned.

At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, or a parent.

If you are the wife of a governor or the wife of a vice president, I think you can be prepared for it.

I'm not going to jump out of airplanes or anything like someone else I know.

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.
