Part of what I want to do is sort of reclaim my story - it belongs to me and to my children, who have to live with whoever their mother is.

I think I did marry a marvelous man.

If you know someone who has lost a child, and you're afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died-you're not reminding them. They didn't forget they died. What you're reminding them of is that you remembered that they lived, and that is a great gift.

I think being an effective First Lady is first of all being the partner that your husband needs.

I have three living children for whom this is a father who I want them to love and on whom they're going to have to rely if my disease takes a bad turn.

I have a lot that I intend to do in this life.

I don't know why someone else's marriage has anything to do with me.
