I've been living a lie all my life.
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.
Nancy is superstitious.
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.
My adoption was treated as a celebration.
You just watch somebody you love slowly, slowly disappear and go away.
It's hard to learn about your parents' courtship.
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.
Dad sometimes patted me on the knee and called me his Little Schmuck.
Everyone seemed to want a piece of Ronald Reagan. It was maddening.
With the blessings of liberty, we have responsibilities to defend it.
I constantly looked for motherly protection.
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.
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.

I was an angry kid.
I didn't spend much time with my parents when I was growing up.
I was so proud to have the Reagan name and to be Ronald Reagan's son. What a great honor.
People think I should be a success, but I'm afraid of it.
I didn't know if I was heterosexual or homosexual.
I am a free man.
I wonder if these people today would think Reagan was a Reagan conservative.
I'm getting a little tired of everybody quoting Ronald Reagan.
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.
My father, Ronald Reagan, held the presidency in such honor and reverence that he was never in the Oval Office without a coat and tie. Bill Clinton has such disrespect for the presidency that he was often in the Oval Office without his pants. Behold the leader of 'the most ethical administration in history'.Collection: Father
