I was cooking breakfast this morning for my kids, and I thought, "He`s (Ronald Reagan) just like a Teflon frying pan: Nothing sticks to him
Pat Schroeder
In 1949 we stayed with one of my friends who had a book in which people were asked to write down their secret ambitions. Ronald Reagan wrote he`d like to be president. All those years ago!
Patricia Neal
(on her refusal to publicly discuss the political career of her ex-husband, Ronald Reagan) It`s not because I`m bitter or because I don`t agree with him politically. I`ve always been a registered Republican. But it`s bad taste to talk about ex-husbands an...
Jane Wyman
I have a huge crush on [President George W. Bush]. I saw him at a recent fundraiser, and he`s a babe. He`s got that Ronald Reagan charm. I think he`s hot. I respect his wife, but if he wasn`t married I`d be putting on my cowboy boots and coming around.
Roseanne Barr
I had the pleasure of knowing Ronald Reagan before he became Governor of California. He was a truly great human being and we usually spent our time together reminiscing about mutual friends. He will be missed by all who knew him and by a nation that will ...
James Arness
The stage was my prime interest. I had no ambition to be a film actor, and a screen career seemed unlikely to come my way. I`d done a stage adaption of "Great Expectations" before the war and this had been seen by David Lean and Ronald Neame. I went into ...
Alec Guinness
I said there was a tall, lanky kid that led 150 airplanes across Berlin. He was an actor, but that day, I said, he was a colonel. Colonel Jimmy Stewart [James Stewart]. So I said, "What is all this crap about Reagan [Ronald Reagan] being an actor?"
John Wayne
[1999, in an interview in "Newsday"] I`m going to be the first black President of the United States. If [Ronald Reagan can do it, I know I can.
Omar Epps
[As to why he didn`t rejoin The Monkees when Peter Tork, Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones re-formed the group, c. 1986] "It would be kind of like Ronald Reagan making another movie."
Michael Nesmith
Two members of my profession who are not urgently needed by my profession, Mr. Ronald Reagan and Mr. George Murphy, entered politics, and they`ve done extremely well. Since there has been no reciprocal tendency in the other direction, it suggests to me th...
Peter Ustinov
I`m a lifelong liberal. I`ve never been a real activist - I just shoot my mouth off. When I knew Ronald Reagan, he was an affable, boring fellow. Now he`s an icon. It`s incredible. Like half of America, I`m doubly mystified by Reagan`s spiritual heir, our...
Richard Widmark
[During an interview about the recent death of Ronald Reagan, former US President and former Governor of California] . . . of course I think he was underestimated. People, mostly people on the East Coast, were saying that an actor couldn`t be President. B...
George W. Bush
[on former President Ronald Reagan] Yes, I liked him very much. When he was a former president of the Screen Actors Guild, I don`t think he had the vast support that a lot of other presidents have had. So I don`t know why that is, it`s just the nature of ...
Clint Eastwood
You know my father as governor, as president, but I knew him as dad. I was so proud to have the Reagan name and to be Ronald Reagan`s son.
Michael Reagan
What`s interesting is you could have showed me an article about 20 years ago in The Washington Post that predicted that Ronald Reagan was a lame duck.
Ken Mehlman
What we can borrow from Ronald Reagan... is that great sense of optimism. He led by building on the strengths of America, not running America down.
Andre Seymour
We`ve watched three of their games on film. They play in a very good league and finished second. Their 6-foot-9 kid (Ronald Wright) leads the country in blocked shots. They have great size and they`re an excellent shooting team.
Craig Smith
Under Ronald Reagan - who cut the top tax rate from 70 percent to 28 percent - black income, business development and business growth exploded.
Larry Elder
Then came the hostage crisis during which Carter did nothing to rattle the ayatollahs who hung tough until Ronald Reagan was inaugurated, when they suddenly backed down.
Alexander Haig
The life and legacy of Ronald Reagan so shifted the paradigm of the American Presidency and the character of our nation that it becomes easy to overlook some of the smaller, more personal changes he brought to his office.
Art Stovall
Ronald Reagan, of course, was a Republican governor of California who went through a painful defeat in the 1976 presidential race before winning four years later.
Michael Medved
Ronald Reagan will be remembered for leading the United States during a time of tremendous international transition - the demise of the Soviet Union, the Berlin Wall coming down, and the end of the Cold War.
Amanda Gonsalves
Ronald Reagan was a president of strength. His philosophy was a philosophy of strength - a strong military, a strong economy and strong families.
Mitt Romney
