I'd studied acting in New York when I left Pierre - that was the big thing that I did. I worked very hard at it, actually.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
My life has been extreme. Most people will not have the experience I've had. But the things that changed me, really changed me, they happen to everyone.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
Oh, am I a feminist? I usually say that I was an accidental feminist. Really, I was just being me.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
There was imbalance with my first husband just by the given of our 29-year age difference and the difficulty of me being this unformed, enthusiastic young woman and he already completely in place being the leader of the country.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
Depression is 80 per cent of my condition, and 10 per cent is mania, and 10 per cent is what we call normal. I say that must be when I am buying groceries. Or vacuuming.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
The problem with mental illness, as opposed to physical illness, is that it involves wrong thinking or impaired insight. You're not thinking correctly.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
I have a lot of lovely things in my life that I wasn't able to have before I got healed from my imbalanced life.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
Being bipolar is a huge exaggeration of your emotions. You can be pretty high and also terribly low, so I've been through it all.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
Pierre was an extraordinary teacher - he really was one of the best, and he raised the boys so, so well: to have a global view, to have compassion, to be humanitarians, to really be concerned about alleviating suffering.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
I tell the children I want everyone to love the life that they're in, to be who they are... and make it the best life they can.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
I have a bigger, peaceful view of life than aggressively breaking down other people.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
I think our jobs as parents is to raise our children with empathy - to figure out who this little character is, almost from birth, and then guide them to fulfill their best potential.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
With my children, balance was everything: being not just a workaholic, not only studying but taking time to renew and restore yourself and taking time to pay attention to your brain health and not assume, as we all do, that our brains are perfect.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
When we have healthy children, we have a healthy community. They can learn. They can play. They can be part of the future. They can help you all do very well and prosper instead of suffering.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
I know, as a mother, it hurts you very much to see your children suffer.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
I'm not really part of the Internet world, my age a factor in that and a lack of interest in sharing with so many, so little, so much, so often.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
I thought of 24 Sussex Drive as the crown jewel of the federal penitentiary system.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
I've had so many rich, rich, beautiful things happen to me in my life because I do have energy, and I do reach out, and I stretch my eyes.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
Do you know what prepares you for the mental hospital? Being a prime minister's wife.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
My honesty about mental illness has helped open a door for real conversation, and I think Justin wants to continue that conversation. He has put no restrictions on me. His father couldn't. Why should he try?
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
I was pregnant and nursing most of the years I was at 24 Sussex. I was ill-prepared and hardly even knew my husband, let alone how I was supposed to fit into this world that was very alien to me.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
You need community support. You're pretty defeated when you're laid low with a mental illness. It's a frightening place to be, and to get up and be able to stand and to move forward and to start functioning again, you need so much support. You need to feel you're not alone.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
I was so surprised, astonished, when I lost my mind, because I didn't think that I ever would. I assumed I would always be just fine.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
I have some great stories. But I am also very human, and I suffered an awful lot.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
I can only ask people to be tolerant of the fact that the... pressures of wives of politicians is very, very strong.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
I strongly believe that privacy is one of the biggest luxuries one can have in life - to have your own private world and not be invaded by the outside.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
I know what it's like to feel marginalized and defeated and humiliated by suffering from a mental illness.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
I don't think Pierre Trudeau knew how to be a husband. I couldn't stay in that marriage.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
When you're mentally ill, sometimes you're so self-involved that you forget how much you're hurting all the people around you who love you so much, because you don't understand that you've got to get help.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
For me, because I'm a mental health advocate, I want everyone to be the healthiest they can be.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
Suddenly I turned 65 and realized, 'Oh my goodness, I'm old.' I think it was when I got into the movie theatres cheaper.
Quote by -Margaret Trudeau

Quote by -Margaret Trudeau
I have studied Freud and that kind of thing. I just never thought I would need it.
