I've tried really hard to care about things that were very different from my parents. I was curious if I could care about [money] on some fundamental level, and I couldn't. That wasn't the metric of success I wanted in my life. I've talked about this to my friends who are doctors and whose parents are doctors, or who are lawyers and their parents are lawyers. It's a funny thing to realize I feel called to this work both as a daughter and also as someone who believes I have contributions to make.

When I first held my daughter, right after she was born, I felt like it was the moment I'd been waiting my whole life for, and it just felt even more miraculous than I ever could have imagined.

I think that we need women role models everywhere. I think that it's really hard to imagine yourself as something that you don't see.

I had seen people who had lost everything and everyone they loved to war, famine, and natural disasters.

My parents taught me to approach the world critically, but also to approach it with a sense of responsibility.

When my father announced his campaign for president on Oct. 3, 1991, I had already cast my vote in favor of his candidacy.

For me it's just so exciting to have a daughter because I do think she will have even more opportunities than I had, and I had more opportunities than certainly my grandmother had. It's the arc of history, always bending toward justice and opportunity, and she will be part of that.
