My mother is an amazing woman. Not only did she manage the entire household she noticed a gift in each of her kids and instilled confidence in all of us that that gift would take us wherever we wanted to go.

I like to have a massage therapist come to my house get a massage take a bath go to bed. That's a perfect night alone for me.

Alone is a much better film than House of the Dead and better than most horror movies out today.

For a while I couldn't leave the house by myself. Even if I was just grocery shopping alone I'd get self-conscious.

The White House alone cannot hold its opponents accountable.

When you have two busy kids running around the house returning e-mails is a task let alone surfing the web.

A movie like House of the Dead with around $7 million budget or Alone in the Dark with around $16 million budget are much easier to make profit than the typical $50 million major motion picture.

I grew up in a very large family in a very small house. I never slept alone until after I was married.

I'm not at the point where I'd feel safe in a house alone. I would be really scared. I'm the kind of person that when I get up to go use the bathroom I have this big long hallway and I just know someone's going to jump out and get me.

People talk about the conscience but it seems to me one must just bring it up to a certain point and leave it there. You can let your conscience alone if you're nice to the second housemaid.

If the First Amendment means anything it means that a state has no business telling a man sitting alone in his house what books he may read or what films he may watch.

Can anyone understand how it is to have lived in the White House and then suddenly to be living alone as the President's widow?

I don't like being in houses alone.

It is not necessary that you leave the house. Remain at your table and listen. Do not even listen only wait. Do not even wait be wholly still and alone. The world will present itself to you for its unmasking it can do no other in ecstasy it will writhe at your feet.

Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night. Up in front there with the screen so big a little kid all alone and I loved it. I loved anything that moved up there and I didn't miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either.

I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent of human knowledge that has ever been gathered at the White House - with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.
