And so it was interesting for me to find myself very enamored of a Republican president, but Ronald Reagan was someone I thought captured the spirit of America.

I had a soft-spot in my heart for Ronald Reagan, if only because he was a sportswriter in his youth.

I actually have several busts of Ronald Reagan that have been presented to me.

I've had some wonderful times at the White House. I've been with Ford, Carter, Reagan, Clinton and Bush.

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.

I do have to say I have been very fortunate.

Ronald Reagan became, you know, not only a Republican but a pretty conservative Republican - not the most. But a pretty conservative Republican. And he's somebody that I actually knew and liked. And he liked me. And I worked with him and helped him.

Ronald Reagan was older than I was when he ran for president.

I was a big fan of Ronald Reagan. He was the first president I got to vote for.

Several things about Reagan are unusual in a public man. He was not a typical politician at all, but a private man in public life.
