Upon hearing the results of her breast examination, the First Lady said - "I guess it's my turn."

As I've said before, time is short, and life is precious.

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 don't intend for this to take on a political tone. I'm just here for the drugs.

I don't really yell at people.

It is true that when you're in the White House alone, it is a lonely place. Big and lonely.

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