Betty Ford

This is a place where you can go, that you can feel safe and look inside yourself and discover yourself.

I know I was an alcoholic because I was preoccupied whether alcohol was going to be served or not.

My makeup wasn't smeared, I wasn't disheveled, I behaved politely, and I never finished off a bottle, so how could I be alcoholic?

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.

Some of my ancestors were religious dissenters who came to America over three hundred years ago. Others were abolitionists in New England in the eighteen forties and fifties.

My feeling for reality TV isn't ironic, guilty, or apologetic. Reality TV is one of the few remaining modes of popular entertainment in which characterization is permitted as plot.
