Once upon a time we did not focus on a president's private life.

The more aspects of life that can be moved from private reign to public realm, the better it is for politics.

I may be president of the United States, but my private life is nobody's damned business.

I am for a clear distinction between public and private life. I believe private matters should be regulated in private and I have asked those close to me to respect this.

Politics was sort of a way of life in our family.

For decades, the journalistic norm had been that the private lives of public officials remained private unless that life impinged on public performance.

If one of my boys was asking me if they should go into politics, I'd say there's only one reason to go into public life and that's to help people.

Nothing in human life is inherently private.

We believe that government works for the benefit of private life, and not the other way around.
