I don't know when I'm going to have time to be politically active.

I have been criticized and ridiculed for turning to astrology, but after a while, I reached the point where I didn't care.

It's always written that my father was a rich, conservative John Bircher. That is untrue. He was not rich. He was not a John Bircher.

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

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 thought Obama ran the best campaign I have ever known - disciplined, well organised, very, very good. I was very impressed.

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.
