I did learn a great deal about my husband but I also learned something about myself: I made a wise choice. I think he's a good man.

I brought home a baby without telling [husband John McCain], and he not only took it in stride but loved it, immediately embracing Bridget, who shares John's very dry sense of humor, so she and her dad do pretty well together. If I hadn't taken Bridget out, I think she would have become a prostitute or worse, died.

If you really want to see change, and have change, you're going to have to get involved.

I would continue to do the things that I do. I'd get into the field and work, and be an example to other people that you can't rely on the government to be the answer to everything.

I learned the hard way that not only do you not have to be superwoman, but it's better not to be and not to try to be. What I would like to be is just a good person - someone who tries her best and puts her best foot forward.

I think security is a big issue for people.

The only way to get around Arizona is by small private plane.

In everything I do, my children come first, and my husband. I just think it's so important to maintain family stability.

I just want to be who I am. I think all women go through the belief that they need to be superwoman - that to be successful in any way, and I don't necessarily mean in business or anything, but just to be a successful person, you have to be superwoman.

I believe in the great spirit and intelligence of Americans.

I think Americans are good-hearted, open-minded people and race doesn't enter into this - at all.

I have very distinct things that I like. I have very distinct opinions. Just because I choose to be a little less overt out on the campaign [trail] doesn't mean I'm anything less than very opinionated and very intelligent.

BlackBerrys are a wonderful tool. I'm very tenacious about keeping up with my kids, as they are with me.

Having a strong father, I wanted an older man.
