Quotes

Jean: People treat me differently when they recognize me as Martha Logan. They whisper, 'Ooo, it's her!' They treat me like, well, the First Lady, which is nice but can mess with your head. I embarrassed myself at a New York hotel this summer. I got off the elevator and started down the hall to a sign that said PRESIDENTIAL SUITE and thought to myself, 'Awwe, they shouldn't have.' In fact, they didn't. But my room was very nice anyway and I got a big laugh out of it. (edit)
