Now is the time to move this country forward.

I've campaigned for people. I've campaigned across the country for people. I have supported people in local elections. I do work with groups and causes. So, I feel like I am a participant and a civically-engaged citizen.

I have a lifelong devotion to public service.

When you make the right decision, it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks.

After my mom died, there was so much written about her fashion and her style and all that, and I felt that one of the most important parts of her was missing, her real intellectual curiosity.

In my family in particular, I think, there was a sense we have to work twice as hard.

Poetry is really a way of sharing feelings and ideas.
