I've raised three kids. I'm a lawyer. I've written books on the Constitution.

I think my mother... made it clear that you have to live life by your own terms and you have to not worry about what other people think and you have to have the courage to do the unexpected.

Well there's nobody who has a more supportive husband than I do, and he has a business that he runs, and it's his own business, so he has work to do, my kids have school to do, I mean, people have - there are other things in life besides politics.

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.

Well, the role of money in politics is pretty corrupting right now.

I grew up in a household where reading was encouraged. My mother believed in the power of words, and my father obviously did too.

Education was the most important value in our home when I was growing up.
