I would like to say something, not just to Vietnam veterans in New England, but to men who were in Vietnam, who I hurt, or whose pain I caused to deepen because of the things that I said or did. I was trying to help end the killing and the war, but there were times when I was thoughtless and careless about it and I'm...very sorry that I hurt them. And I want to apologize to them and their families.

My life is a stairway to heaven, not a 'decline into decrepitude.

You know, you're only as happy as your least happy child. So if your kids aren't okay, you're not good.

Every woman should eat for the long run so she can manage the short stops of crisis.

I like to be wild in passion and calculated in expression! I'm both. I like to be wild in passion more. But I think the balance is what's essential.
