Bush: "I'm always moving forward. ... I'm a person who's fairly spontaneous, and I don't brood and I don't get stuck."

Bush: "[My wife] Laura is calm. I am energetic. She is restful; I am restless. She is patient; I am impatient. ... Laura is naturally reserved, I am outgoing. ... She is totally at ease, comfortable and natural, just calm. ... I, on the other hand, am in perpetual motion. I provoke people, confront them in a teasing way. I pick at a problem, drawing it to the surface. She is kinder, much more measured, arriving at a conclusion carefully, yet certainly."
