Quote

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

I've learned to appreciate the thinking of John Kennedy.

Kennedy is remembered as a success mainly because of what came after: Johnson and Vietnam. Nixon and Watergate.

Kennedy was a lot of fun, always. He had something going on. But not Nixon.

I've always enjoyed reading history, particularly presidential biographies.

Robert Kennedy was such an inspiring figure. His interest in politics seemed to come not from a desire for power, but from a need to help our society live up to its ideals.

Many people remember that spirit that President Kennedy summoned forth. Many people look to me as somebody who embodies that sense of possibility.

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

When I was a kid, Eisenhower had been President forever, and all of a sudden, everything in the world was all about Jack Kennedy. I was 12, interested in politics; my father was from Massachusetts, had an accent like Kennedy.

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.
