I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life.

I guess my religious faith sustained me more than anything else. Family is also very important. If I didn't have children, it would have been too difficult. Even if you are strong, you still need people who would support you all the way.

The politicians think that I have not included enough of them; the nonpoliticians think that I have gone back to the old ways; and the mass public groups think I have forgotten them.

It's not just in politics that you can be a servant of the people, you can do it in so many other ways.

I've reached a point in life where it's no longer necessary to try to impress. If they like me the way I am, that's good. If they don't, that's too bad.

I know my limitations, and I don't like politics. I was only involved because of my husband.

I just do whatever it is that I believe I should do, regardless of the risks to my life.
