My philosophy is that you do what you have to do.

You can make the First Lady's job whatever you want it to be. To some women the job is more involved with the entertaining. They feel at home doing the things at home.

If you don't accept failure as a possibility, you don't set high goals, you don't branch out, you don't try - you don't take the risk.

You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don't win, at least you can be satisfied that you've tried. If you don't accept failure as a possibility, you don't set high goals, you don't branch out, you don't try - you don't take the risk.

I don't lift weights. I do fitness exercises to stay strong.

I made a commitment... both to myself and to some supporters to carefully consider a run for the Liberal leadership for the Liberal Party of Canada.

I love basketball because it's social, and you're not even thinking about working out - you're just playing a game and getting great exercise at the same time.

My life as a professional musician is a joyless exercise in futility.
