I feel I was very fortunate to be in the position to do something positive, to make a contribution to change. It gave me terrific satisfaction.

As I've grown older, I have begun to marvel... at how much of my life I have spent among ghosts. These are no malevolent presences... Rather, they are such restless spirits as only the strange twentieth-century cocktail of celebrity, technology and collective memory could produce.

I think I'm fairly demanding, probably. You have to feel that when you're appointed to a job you have to do the job.

Jean Kennedy Smith Quotes
