Being prime minister isn't the only job in life! As far as I'm concerned, I could live in a village and be satisfied.

I'm certainly not tired - work doesn't tire people, it's getting bored that's tiring.

We were to equally strong types [with my husband], equally pigheaded - neither of us wanted to give in. And...I like to think those quarrels made us better, that they enlivened our life, because without them we would have had a normal life, yes, but banal and boring.

I would like to ask a question. Would this sort of war or savage bombing which has taken place in Vietnam have been tolerated for so long, had the people been European?

I fall in love with anything I do and I always try to do it well.

I was a perfect housewife. Being a mother has always been the job I liked best. Absolutely.

Finally we promised to limit the birth rate. And this you really didn't believe; you smiled scornfully. Well, even in this things have gone well. The fact is that we have grown by over seventy millions in ten years, but it's also true that we have grown less than many other countries, including the countries of Europe.
