I've been living a lie all my life.
Michael Reagan
I thought the Secret Service would protect me from the press, but they were at my house to protect me from assassins with guns, not with assassins with pencils.
I mean, people need to remember without the grassroots, Ronald Reagan probably doesn't become president of the United States of America and he worked the grassroots on a regular basis during his political career and especially between the years of 1976 and 1980 after the loss in Kansas City.
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.
Senator Arlen Specter hasn't really switched parties; he's simply realized he cannot win the Pennsylvania Republican primary election.
I think he would have been proud and smiling... when we laid him to rest because his family was together. I think that was a great gift to be able to give Dad at the end.
Dad sometimes patted me on the knee and called me his Little Schmuck.
I can fake anything.
I had never said, 'dad, I love you.'
Because of my father, we are that Shining City on a Hill.
My adoption was treated as a celebration.
Dad was the only adult male I ever trusted.
It was my sister Maureen who was responsible for my becoming a Reagan.
I knew if I waited long enough, the Republican Party would rock.
Everyone seemed to want a piece of Ronald Reagan. It was maddening.
People think I should be a success, but I'm afraid of it.
You just watch somebody you love slowly, slowly disappear and go away.
I wonder if these people today would think Reagan was a Reagan conservative.
Being sent away to school was no different from my biological mother giving me away.
I was an angry kid.
I was so proud to have the Reagan name and to be Ronald Reagan's son. What a great honor.
I started to build barriers between myself and others to protect myself.
I constantly looked for motherly protection.
With the blessings of liberty, we have responsibilities to defend it.
Nancy is superstitious.
Hollywood was never great for children.
I didn't feel I belonged in so perfect a family.
The odds against an adoptee ending up as the child of the President of the United States are staggering. But then, so are the odds against a movie star becoming president.
It's hard to learn about your parents' courtship.
Everyone thought I had everything. I had nothing.
I didn't spend much time with my parents when I was growing up.
I didn't know if I was heterosexual or homosexual.
I am a free man.
I'm getting a little tired of everybody quoting Ronald Reagan.
