After my mom died, there was so much written about her fashion and her style and all that, and I felt that one of the most important parts of her was missing, her real intellectual curiosity.
My mother ... had a very deep inner spirituality that allowed her to rebuild her life. It's extraordinary that she had such a strong sense of self and such a commitment to the future and such a strong creative sense that she could build new worlds for herself and for us out of the total devastation in her life.
I'm not as shy as everybody makes me out to be.
Well I've been writing books. So that, by its nature, is kind of a solitary occupation. And from time to time I have research help, but mostly I've done those completely on my own.
The most beautiful people are all in the library.
I've been a Democrat all my life.
I grew up in a household where reading was encouraged. My mother believed in the power of words, and my father obviously did too.
I can see both sides of term limits, and I think, in different positions, term limits make more sense than in some others.
The amazing thing about the winners is that none of them really felt that they were doing anything special. They just felt like it was the right thing to do.
You have to remind kids to stay connected to the meaning of Christmas. Sometimes it takes a little bit of effort, but it's so worth it.
As much as we need a prosperous economy, we also need a prosperity of kindness and decency.
I can’t stand to hear his [Obama’s] voice anymore. He’s a liar, and worse.
I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president - not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans.
I feel that my father's greatest legacy was the people he inspired to get involved in public service and their communities, to join the Peace Corps, to go into space. And really that generation transformed this country in civil rights, social justice, the economy and everything.
