I'd love to have First Lady Michelle Obama over and ask, 'How do you make your marriage work?' I think the president is sexy as all get-out, but he has got to get on her nerves some kind of way. He's this wonderful, powerful man, but she sees him leaving his socks on the floor.

When I retire I'm going to spend my evenings by the fireplace going through those boxes. There are things in there that ought to be burned.
