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

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

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

I think a woman gets more if she acts feminine.

From the moment I walked into the White House, it was as if I had no privacy at all.

Presidents don't get vacations - they just get a change of scenery. The job goes with you.

My job is being 'Mrs. Ronald Reagan.'
