There's nothing like the feeling of being in Times Square for New Year's Eve. It's such a great rush. You feel like the whole world is there. People from all over the world coming to celebrate together.

Continual, intentional, or snarky putdowns have no place in a healthy relationship.

If I see, hear, or experience anything that I feel is inappropriate, you bet I'm going to speak up.

I enjoyed giving back to the city I was born and raised in.

My second husband, Eric Villency, is the father of my beautiful boy Ronan Anthony. Even though we're divorced, I'm still very close with his family.

I believe in people. Human beings, deep down, are essentially good. Any jury can filter through whatever bull might be thrown their way and use common sense to get to the truth of a case. Juries make the right decisions, almost unfailingly, because people know right from wrong.

You've got to be inclusive.

You really have to prove yourself and prove your worth. I didn't come from family that had been here for generations and had all these connections.

I hold a mini-New Year's Eve party each year with my son Ronan, and we make pigs in a blanket. They are delicious!

I've always had an interest in broadcast journalism and the law. So it's nice that I can combine the two.

When my mom, Mercedes, and her younger sister, Juanita, first came from Puerto Rico, they were the youngest in the family. They had to jump into a new community and really learn English, assimilate, and adapt - and I saw that. I grew up in that community.

I would be flattered and honored to be considered for any position where I could serve my country.

I'm a very fertile Puerto Rican.

The key lesson for me: Don't make this life about you. It's about other people.

Work hard. Through determination and self-focus and discipline, you can accomplish anything.

If you put your mind to it, anything is possible.

In religious and in secular affairs, the more fervent beliefs attract followers. If you are a moderate in any respect - if you're a moderate on abortion, if you're a moderate on gun control, or if you're a moderate in your religious faith - it doesn't evolve into a crusade where you're either right or wrong, good or bad, with us or against us.

My constant prayer, my number one foreign goal, is to bring peace to Israel. And in the process to Israel's neighbours.

At the Carter Center we work with victims of oppression, and we give support to human rights heroes.

I think, in many people's minds, the Confederate battle flag is not only a memorial to our ancestors, which is perfectly OK, but also a symbol of white superiority and an inclination for people to believe that even slavery would've been OK.

I'm taking special treatments for the cancer in my brain and in my liver. Part of the liver was removed, and they did the treatment on four places in my brain with radiation. And now I'm taking a long-term medicine that stimulates my own immune system to fight against cancer.

I've been writing poems since I was in the Navy - to Rosalynn. I found I could say things in poems that I never could in prose. Deeper, more personal things. I could write a poem about my mother that I could never tell my mother. Or feelings about being on a submarine that I would have been too embarrassed to share with fellow submariners.

Government is a contrivance of human wisdom to provide for human wants. People have the right to expect that these wants will be provided for by this wisdom.

I separated from the Southern Baptists when they adopted the discriminatory attitude towards women, because I believe what Paul taught in Galatians that there is no distinction in God's eyes between men and women, slaves and masters, Jews and non-Jews - everybody is created equally in the eyes of God.
