Spreading manure is a great way of bringing yourself down to earth.

I felt God’s love, and that was a great gift.

Dad had great people investing in his life at a young age. His mother, his stepfather, his Boy Scout leader, his football coach. That’s where integrity is planted, like seeds that are harvested later.

I used to go out and carouse. I was afraid to go to sleep because I thought I might miss something.

When Dad made a decision, whether it was about family or his own career, the majority of the time, it was for the long term, not the short term.

Character is not created on the spot.

I thought food and drink were just part of the perks of living at the White House. The next day, I got a call from his secretary saying my dad wanted to see me in the Oval Office, and when I got there, dad was waving this little pink receipt. I didn’t know it came out of his salary.

Not all films are going to go down in history.
Steven Ford
I’ve really been blessed to have these roles in movies that will last forever.

I remember telling Mom, ‘I can’t go to the Betty Ford Center. That’s like going to the high school where your mom is the principal.’ But maybe I could have gotten the family rate.
Steven Ford
My dad wasn’t the best speaker like a Bill Clinton, or a Henry Kissinger, but he had character.
Steven Ford
Dad knew how to disagree without being disagreeable or rude.
Steven Ford
As I get older and more tuned in to a community or an area, I see myself getting more involved. Not that I see myself running for office, but more involved in local issues.
Steven Ford
I think the issue that is really going to hurt the Republican Party is the right-to-life issue. I think they have painted themselves into a real corner.
Steven Ford
Truly, what the Secret Service did for us is that they saved my dad’s life twice.
Steven Ford
Our dad was just a congressman for 27 years, and if you live in Washington, D.C., everybody’s dad works for the government. We grew up just like everyone else.
