• I think the fact that she [Eleanor Roosevelt] was a woman probably in those days would have been an additional criticism, although first ladies by definition in those days were women. There's always been a problem and still is, about the role the first lady should play, of course. Everybody's seen it in Jackie Kennedy and Nancy Reagan and, heaven knows, Hillary Clinton. So the problem has not been solved.

• I am just here to support the President of the United States. President of the United States is our boss, but he is also... you know, the President and the First Lady are kinda like the Mom and the Dad of the country.

• In designing for the first lady, I tried to sort of be in her shoes, but I didn't really look at her as an important political figure. I looked at her as a woman who would like to wear a beautiful dress to an important gala.

• We went to the same college so I know [Hillary Clinton's] study habits, but when she was first lady of Arkansas, she did a lot of things already for children, and she was head of the Children's Defense Fund, and that's how I first heard her or met her, she was very very involved in really a very important social program to do something about children and women and education.

• Es interesante para mí que realmente una de las primeras cosas que [Eleanor Roosevelt]hizo como Primera Dama fue recopilar las cartas de su padre y publicar un libro titulado Las cartas de mi padre, esencialmente, caza mayor, Las cartas de Elliott Roosevelt. Y realmente fue un acto de redención, realmente uno de sus primeros actos de redención cuando entró en la Casa Blanca. Iba a redimir el honor de su padre. Y la publicación de sus cartas, volver a conectar con su infancia realmente la fortaleció para seguir adelante en los difíciles años de la Casa Blanca.

• I would say that Barack Obama has always been a real optimist about what can be accomplished. He believes that government can be used to create systemic, long-term, real change. And the first lady is more of a skeptic.

• During the first campaign, one of my jobs as my husband's spouse was to travel around the country and really listen to women. There were voices that were new to me: the voices of military spouses, many of them women, and veterans.... I was overwhelmed by their challenges, and the notion that we as a country don't even know that these women exist, because we live in a country where one percent of the population protects the rights and freedoms of the other 99 percent of us. I thought that if I had the opportunity to serve as First Lady, I was going to use this platform to be their voice.

• La primera dama de Uganda es una devota evangélica y muy querida por la comunidad religiosa. En una conferencia evangélica en Argentina, un ministro dijo: "Mamá Janet nos ha dado las llaves de África". Lo ha hecho creando una nación que ha abrazado una forma dominionista de cristianismo que cree que los cristianos tienen el derecho otorgado por Dios de gobernar el mundo.

• Anecdote: The extent of Michael Jackson's fame at its height, and his eagerness to exploit it is shown by an incident in 1984 when invited to a White House reception hosted by then President and First Lady Ronald and Nancy Reagan. Jackson had been assured that the only people there, besides the presidential couple, would be a few staff members' children. Aghast to find around 75 adults and no children, Jackson locked himself in an upstairs bathroom, refusing to emerge until assured that all non-essential adults had been replaced by a number of children.
