A woman is like a teabag — only in hot water do you realize how strong she is.
I don't talk about political matters. That's not my department.
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.
The Sixties, of course, was the worst time in the world to try and bring up a child. They were exposed to all these crazy things going on.
I believe that people would be alive today if it were not for the death penalty.
Pornography is pornography, what is there to see? Movies are attempting to destroy something that's supposed to be the most beautiful thing a man and a woman can have by making it cheap and common. It's what you don't see that's attractive.
I don't intend for this to take on a political tone. I'm just here for the drugs.
A lot of what acting is, is paying attention.
My life really began when I married my husband.
I think a woman gets more if she acts feminine.
I don't think most people associate me with leeches or how to get them off. But I know how to get them off. I'm an expert at it.
I do not believe in abortion at will. I do not believe that if a woman just wants to have an abortion she should. ... I do believe if you have an abortion you are committing murder.
The movies were custard compared to politics.
I have been very happy with my homes, but homes really are no more than the people who live in them.
I must say that acting was good training for the political life that lay ahead of us.
Our relationship is very special. We were very much in love and still are. Thank God we found each other. When I say my life began with Ronnie, well, it's true. It did. Forty-six years? Can't imagine life without him.
I was sleeping with the President, and if that doesn't give you special access, I don't know what does!
I am a big believer that eventually everything comes back to you. You get back what you give out.
