I’ve had at least my share of tragedy, but I have had far more than my share of happiness.

The day I became press secretary to the President of the United States, I was in an entirely different world from the one I’d been in the day before.

Onassis was a man who loved to walk, to walk and talk, and he was the kind of man who doesn’t go to sleep at night-he talks and talks.

Jackie Kennedy was magnificent in the days and weeks immediately following her husband’s assassination. She was especially wonderful to me.

To outlive one’s child is a terrible thing, but to do so because your child has taken his or her life is horrible.

One of the problems with a candidate like Bob Kennedy, and his brother before him, was that people assumed they didn’t need contributions.

He’s the president of the United States. He’s got to work 14 to 16 hours a day, run foreign and domestic policy. If he’s got time for mistresses after all that, what the hell difference does it make?

If Bush wins, I’m going to leave the country and spend the rest of my life in France.

A funny thing happened on the way to the election – I got to the Senate first.

I lost two of the greatest men I’ve ever known to assassination – and a son to suicide.
