You just watch somebody you love slowly, slowly disappear and go away.

I constantly looked for motherly protection.

I knew if I waited long enough, the Republican Party would rock.

You know my father as governor, as president, but I knew him as dad. I was so proud to have the Reagan name and to be Ronald Reagan's son.

I think he would have been proud and smiling... when we laid him to rest because his family was together. I think that was a great gift to be able to give Dad at the end.

It's hard to learn about your parents' courtship.

Senator Arlen Specter hasn't really switched parties; he's simply realized he cannot win the Pennsylvania Republican primary election.

Everyone seemed to want a piece of Ronald Reagan. It was maddening.

Dad was the only adult male I ever trusted.

Being sent away to school was no different from my biological mother giving me away.

I can fake anything.

I didn't feel I belonged in so perfect a family.

I didn't know if I was heterosexual or homosexual.

I had never said, 'dad, I love you.'

I started to build barriers between myself and others to protect myself.

I am a ordinary teenager. I fall in love like everyone else.

People react to fear, not love; they don't teach that in Sunday School, but it's true.

I sort of understood that when I first started: that you shouldn't repeat a success. Very often you're going to, and maybe the first time you do, it works. And you love it. But then you're trapped.

There is love there. And then there's times when I can't even stomach Simon. You don't have to sit next to him. That's all I have to say.

When I see children, I see the face of God. That's why I love them so much. That's what I see.
