I don't like a lot of frills and fusses.

I couldn't possibly lead the kind of life I lead, and keep the schedule that I do, having radiation or chemotherapy.

My mother was a Democrat - southern Democrat, y'all.

You know, the polls show that 70 percent of the people are for stem-cell research.

I'm particularly happy that the Ronald Reagan Building is both public and private, and embraces his lifelong belief... in free and open trade.

I am a big believer that you have to nourish any relationship. I am still very much a part of my friends' lives and they are very much a part of my life. A First Lady who does not have this source of strength and comfort can lose perspective and become isolated.

I must say that acting was good training for the political life that lay ahead of us.
