I love everybody. One of the great things about me is that I have a very positive attitude.

The problem of the world today is the people talk on and on about democracy, freedom, justice. But I don't give a damn about democracy if I am worried about survival.

I hardly can sleep. I feel that my target now is really to save Mother Earth for humanity. And it's doable.

Beauty is not extravagance; beauty is life.

My dreams were always small and puny. All I ever needed was a little house with a little picket fence by the sea. Little did I know that I would live in Malacanang Palace for 20 years and visit all the major palaces of mankind. And then also meet ordinary citizens and the leaders of superpowers.

The Reagans were dear friends for many years, even when he was governor of California. Nancy appreciated a lot of Philippine-made things.

If you know how rich you are, you are not rich. But me, I am not aware of the extent of my wealth. That's how rich we are.
