“I’m not a competitive person, and I think women like me because they don’t think I’m competitive, just nice.”

I do have the most marvelous husband, children, and grandchildren.

Nobody likes a child to die or losing an election.

Life has changed enormously, and I hope – I hope more people read good things.

My son, George, has been a bad, bad boy! Right, George?

One thing I can say about George… he may not be able to keep a job, but he’s not boring.

I think a lot of our problems are because people don’t listen to our children. It is not always easy. They’re not always so brilliant that you want to spend hours with them. But it is very important to listen to them.

George is the best little dishwasher in Texas.

Value your friendship. Value your relationships.

You know, for one glorious half hour, I was the mother of the president-elect.

I’m taking a vow not to advise.

It seems to me I spent my life in car pools, but you know, that’s how I kept track of what was going on.

I decided I ought to pick a project that would not be controversial, that would not really cost the government a lot of money.

If more people could read, write, and comprehend, we could be much closer to solving so many of the other problems our country faces today.

The Titanic was built by professionals. The Ark was built by volunteers.

Never lose sight of the fact that the most important yardstick of your success will be how you treat other people – your family, friends, and coworkers, and even strangers you meet along the way.

I think togetherness is a very important ingredient to family life.

Florida has been really cool to us. This is our first big club tour, and Pennywise has been really nice.

It would have been nice if both players had maybe shaken hands with each other

I’m very honored and thankful if someone says something nice about my playing, but in general I’m very critical of what I do.

I enjoy meeting not only contemporary children, but yesterday’s children as well. It’s nice to talk about the experiences we shared, they tell me, ‘You were a good friend.’ That’s the warmest part.

I think, a lot of people, it’s the goal to be in movies or just to be working in general. But yeah, some of us get lucky and get some movie roles, and it’s nice.

It’s nice to really have the freedom to write what I want.

Being nice should never be perceived as being weak. It’s not a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of courtesy, manners, grace, a woman’s ability to make everyone…feel at home, and it should never be construed as weakness.

I’ve always been serious that way, trying to evolve to a more conscious state. Funny thing about that,though. You tweak yourself,looking for more love, less lust, more compassion, less jealousy.
