When a person goes into a relationship emotionally needy they are not going to have discernment in choosing people.

What works in a relationship of very public people is not making the relationship public - keeping it as personal as it can be. It's the only way it is real.

So after the Lewinsky scandal everything changed and we moved from using the Bible to address the moral issues of our time which were social to moral issues of our time that were very personal. I have continued that relationship up until the present.

I'm a real relationship person - contrary to public perception. I'm either in one or I'm not.

And I think if you look at any relationship for the relationship to be productive and to move forward and to grow sometimes things have to be said that one person or the other person is not going to like to hear.

I spend a great deal of time with the President. We have a very close personal loyal relationship. I'm not as they say a potted plant in these meetings.

It's a great relationship when you can work with the person who you consider to be your soul mate.

The person who needs the other person the least in a relationship is the stronger member.

A relationship is lovely if you're happy comfortable in it and you really like the person. I can think of nothing better. But there's nothing worse than having a relationship in which you feel no interest.

I don't think it's necessarily healthy to go into relationships as a needy person. Better to go in with a full deck.

In a relationship each person should support the other they should lift each other up.

A person isn't who they are during the last conversation you had with them - they're who they've been throughout your whole relationship.

Everyone asks me about being so worried or thinking about existence as if I'm the only person who can't understand why a tree grows the way it does or why a person is in power when they're not that great. These are questions everyone has.

Before I was really passive all I cared about was being in love with my boyfriend. I didn't have any creative power nothing. I don't know that person any more.

Almost all first ladies have had tremendous power on personnel issues whether the public realized it or not whether it was Barbara Bush or Nancy Reagan or whoever.

The functions of these elders therefore determine the power of the people for a representative is one chosen by others to do in their name what they are entitled to do in their own persons or rather to exercise the powers which radically inhere in those for whom they act.

I'm not a power person. I like everyone to be on an equal footing.
