There wasn't a day that would go by that we didn't have a serious conversation, but not in this marriage. The only question I have now is 'Honey, will you please eat?' Eva is trying to lose weight.

We've been on a honeymoon for more than a year here in Las Vegas and we haven't got pregnant yet. We're trying, but we haven't picked a school district yet. That's an old joke. I told you, this is a physical marriage.

Bush seemed interested and asked Vitter about her.] The president already knew the name, ... She was already on some sort of short list.

It seems odd, but they'd end every conversation with 'Have a nice day.

[Conversation of the day: Yogi Berra with Hideki Matsui - without a translator.] It was in Japanese, always Japanese, ... Yogi just likes to joke around with me.
