Such a strange thing. What was terrible for a healthy fetus has been wonderful at defeating the cancer cells.

I don't like to practice ahead of time what I'm going to say.

I am the first to admit that were I not a woman, I would not have been the vice-presidential nominee.

But I made one mistake which I would never repeat as a member of Congress when I was in Washington, and that was when I was elected I didn't go on trips because I was so afraid of having someone accuse me of taking junkets.

When a guy gets elected to the Senate or the governor's mansion, he wakes up the next morning and says to himself, 'You're presidential material,'

I do believe in the power of prayer.

I don't consider myself a survivor; that's someone who has gone through something terrible.
