It's easier to make fun of a first lady than for a first lady to have fun. The scrutiny is ferocious.

It's a lot of fun to just say to people, proudly, 'I get to play the First Lady.' It's just fun to say.

I'll be a wife and mother first, then First Lady.

The first lady must be a leader. She must not be a follower.

Being first lady is the hardest unpaid job in the world.

Any lady who is first lady likes being first lady. I don't care what they say, they like it.
