I'm a product of the Kennedy era. Kennedy's Inaugural plus the accident of Dean Rusk brought me into the government. Those were my values.

Kennedy was a man who liked writers and even I got invited to the White House.

The one appearance that I made for President Kennedy, he, as I understand, had his choice or was asked to make a list of the people he would like to have perform, and I was fortunate enough to be one of them.

I didn't know Jack Kennedy that well, but Bobby was a hero to me.

I would've loved Jack Kennedy. I would've loved to have campaigned for him and supported him. I wish there were more like him today.

President Kennedy was the greatest man I ever met, and the best friend I ever had.

Television has an awful lot to do with the Kennedy mystique and the fact that he's frozen in people's minds at the age of 46, and he was handsome and personable and witty and charming.

The energy of the Kennedy years was completely compelling... I had a sense of a generous society eager to change the world. Idealism was very contagious. So that's why I went to America. I didn't intend to stay.

As much as I liked and admired the various members of the Kennedy family, my first loyalty was to Jackie.

I enjoyed working with Ted Kennedy.
