I hope that I serve by being a teacher.

Most people actually think I'm more like my mom because we're interested in the same things.

I was sports editor for my high school newspaper, but I think I shied away from journalism.

I think there are many ways to serve your country.

I'm a perfectionist - I could rewrite forever.

I had always loved to write and my mom was my editor for my school papers.

I didn't go to Latin America thinking, 'I'm gonna write a book. This is what I'm gonna do.' I went there to work for UNICEF and to learn.

I don't think of myself as a policy expert. I think education is the most important thing.

I don't think I'm portrayed in the media the way I really am - but then who is?

I think I know a lot about campaigns.

There's no job that's more rewarding than being with kids. I adore it.

I don't have any children. I just have a cat, to my parents' dismay.

I care what people who know me think of me.

I can't wish I weren't something that I am.

Value your friendship. Value your relationships.

George is the best little dishwasher in Texas.

I love talking to people, but what I really love is to feel you're doing something instead of sitting home and twiddling your thumbs.

Raising five boys is a handful, trust me.

I'm not a competitive person, and I think women like me because they don't think I'm competitive, just nice.
