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

I'm not as shy as everybody makes me out to be.

Well I've been writing books. So that, by its nature, is kind of a solitary occupation. And from time to time I have research help, but mostly I've done those completely on my own.

As much as we need a prosperous economy, we also need a prosperity of kindness and decency.

Going into politics is something people have asked me about forever.

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 know my mother so well, so it's hard for me to remember that people have a certain image of her, but they don't really know her personality.
