- The Kennedys were very organized. Dinner was always served at 7:15, and if you were a minute late, it really wasn't worth it. In my family, you never knew when dinner was going to be. It could be at 7, or it could be at 10.
- When we lost Bobby [Robert F. Kennedy], I would wake up in the morning and think, HHe's OK. He's in Heaven, and he's with Jack [John F. Kennedy] and a lot of my brothers and sisters and my parents". So it made it very easy to get through the day thinking he was OK.
- Introspection! I hate it!
