"She was a nagging shrew. She was totally negative. She was mean; she always had to get her own way. She was [Nicolae] Ceaușescu's devil. As with a mentally unstable person, you went around her, you tried to avoid her. ...she was unadulterated evil. She was very vain and almost illiterate. I saw her as a mixture of Imelda Marcos, Evita Perón, and Chiang Ching."
