Quote

President Reagan was the quintessential Happy Warrior, and no one loves, respects, and admires Reagan more than I do.

Everyone seemed to want a piece of Ronald Reagan. It was maddening.

I don't think Reagan is primarily funny, and I don't think he's primarily marvelous; he's complicated.

I have very little respect for Nancy Reagan. There is something about her that is very petty.

I'm glad Reagan is president. Of course, I'm a professional comedian.

Nothing could make me forget what the Reagan years had actually been like.

Reagan's dead, and he was a lousy President.

As we celebrate President Reagan's remarkable career and historic legacy, we also celebrate a man of strong character, deep conviction, unforgettable charm, and wonderful wit.

First, President Reagan was not enthusiastic. But I built up a relationship with him in other areas and then persuaded him that this was important to us and to me, and that we had to at least be in the process of looking at this seriously.

While many of us never knew Ronald Reagan personally, we felt close to him because we shared his lighthearted sense of humor, admired his uncommon virtue, and were moved by his remarkable wisdom.
