I know I was an alcoholic because I was preoccupied whether alcohol was going to be served or not.

I had thought I would hate being First Lady... I loved it.

Having babies is a blessing, not a duty.

Friends aren't any more important than breath or blood to a high school senior.

I have an independent streak. You know, it's kind of hard to tell a independent woman what to do.

I don't feel that because I'm First Lady, I'm very different from what I was before. It can happen to anyone. After all, it has happened to anyone.

I don't look at what I've lost. I look instead at what I have left.
