The state dinner is almost a formula, but you try to make it interesting. You try not to overload it with too many political types. You try to get a cross section.

Whatever the era...one thing will never change: Fathers and mothers, if you have children, they must come first.

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

I think togetherness is a very important ingredient to family life.

Whether you are talking about education, career, or service, you are talking about life. And life must really have joy. It's supposed to be fun.

I decided I ought to pick a project that would not be controversial, that would not really cost the government a lot of money.

It was the dumbest thing I had ever seen, but it's a family thing, and I guess it's clean.
