Perpetually confused-looking Brian Kilmeade of Fox & Friends asked Ann Romney if it was difficult for Mitt to turn down a $30 million job offer in 2008. Her answer:
“Well, we’re used to kind of passing offers up like that. For us, our life is not about making money. We’ve been very blessed financially. Our life is now about giving back. I always trust that Mitt can always make another dollar. Poor guy, he took no pay when he did the Olympics for three years and no pay when he was governor for four years.”

- “Remember, we’d been paying $62 a month rent, but here, rents were $ 400, and for a dump. This is when we took the now-famous loan that Mitt talks about from his father and bought a $42,000 home in Belmont, and you know? The mortgage payment was less than rent.” [Boston Globe, 10/20/94]
- “I love the fact that there are women out there who don’t have a choice and they must go to work and they still have to raise the kids.” [Prescott Bush Awards Dinner, 4/24/12]
- “We’ve given all you people need to know and understand about our financial situation and how we live our life.” [ABC News, 7/19/12]
