Every day at some point I encounter some sort of anti-American feeling.

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.

He [Bill Clinton] likes to hearken back to his kind of Irish roots, so I think he'd love to be called First Laddy.

I can't imagine anything that would make the world look more different than if women and girls were unequivocally enfranchised.

My marriage is incredibly important to me. It's the place from which I engage in the world every day, and the place to which I return every day.

My mother has often said that the issue of women is the unfinished business of the 21st century. That is certainly true. But so, too, are the issues of LGBT rights the unfinished business of the 21st century.

Over the summer I thought that I would seek out non-Americans as friends, just for diversity's sake. Now I find that I want to be around Americans - people who I know are thinking about our country as much as I am.
