In my forties my optimism was boundless. I had really good health and tremendous success which allowed me to do anything I wanted.

If Obama wanted to make radical changes to America's health long-term all he has to do is treble the price of sugar and salt.

It's correct that I wanted health reform to do more to create choices and promote competition.

My grandmother had six kids - one died as an infant - and she was dirt-poor and all her kids got an education. And my mom grew up poor. And they both worked so hard and cultivated so much of their own happiness. I wanted to have that like an amulet. Not like armor but like a magic feather. Like Dumbo's magic feather.

Getting pregnant wasn't easy and I found that devastating. I really beat myself up for waiting so long when I'd always wanted children and family had been the basis of my happiness my whole life.

When I was a little kid all I wanted to do was to escape what I thought was the country and get to a city. Probably film and television had influenced me so much I really thought the key to happiness was living a very artificial life in a penthouse in New York with martini glasses.

I wanted to learn everything I could about what it takes to be a great chef. It was a turning point for me.

I never wanted to become an actress because I'd read great literature or seen great Shakespeare. It was more just wanting to understand what the people were really like why they said all the strange things they did.

I once wanted to prove myself by being a great actress. Now I want to prove that I'm a person. Then maybe I'll be a great actress.

I always wanted to have my own album released before I graduated from high school.

I never knew a government yet that wanted to do anything.

Just think of what Woodrow Wilson stood for: he stood for world government. He wanted an early United Nations League of Nations. But it was the conservatives Republicans that stood up against him.

Just in general any government throughout history hasn't really wanted its people to be educated because then they couldn't control them as easily.

I've always wanted to improve on the idea of living well In moderation wine is good for you - mentally physically and spiritually.

I had three points I wanted to make: That not everybody in Hollywood is on the left that Obama has broken a lot of the promises he made when he took office and that the people should feel free to get rid of any politician who's not doing a good job. But I didn't make up my mind exactly what I was going to say until I said it.

They didn't want it good they wanted it Wednesday.

I'm Jewish. I don't work out. If God had wanted us to bend over He would have put diamonds on the floor.

The question is what I wanted to do with the new life God has given me. This is the mission I want to take on.

I don't excercise. If God had wanted me to bend over he would have put diamonds on the floor.

If God had wanted man to play soccer he wouldn't have given us arms.

If God had wanted me otherwise He would have created me otherwise.

If God would have wanted us to live in a permissive society He would have given us Ten Suggestions and not Ten Commandments.

As an American I wanted to explore... why are we the only first world country that still has capital punishment? Is it because we're too afraid to really examine the system or is it because we really truly believe that this is the best way to deter future crime?

I said tonight I wanted to talk to you about love. Look into your hearts. This is our country. This is our future. These are our children and grandchildren. You can trust Mitt.
