They call me corrupt, frivolous. I am not at all privileged. Maybe the only privileged thing is my face. And corrupt? God! I would not look like this if I am corrupt. Some ugliness would settle down on my system.

When they see me holding fish, they can see that I am comfortable with kings as well as with paupers.

If you know how rich you are, you are not rich. But me, I am not aware of the extent of my wealth. That's how rich we are.

It is shallow people who think beauty is frivolous or excessive. If you are bringing beauty and god, you are enriching the country. Rice feeds the body, books feed the mind, beauty feeds the soul. It is one thing I can really be proud of and stand tall in the world.

I hate ugliness. You know I'm allergic to ugliness.

Never dress down for the poor. They won't respect you for it. They want their First Lady to look like a million dollars.
