I think we need to care about the metrics of success in life, and I'm a pretty competitive person.

You'd better talk to my dad. My mom's pretty busy.

Of course [I'm a feminist]. And everyone I know is a feminist.

I just hope I will be as good a mom to my child and, hopefully, children as my mom was to me.

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.

I hope that young people will also look to politics as a vehicle to not only have their voices heard, but actually to be the change makers that they want to see. They are disaffected, understandably, but I hope that young people will not only turn out to vote but also run for office.

Intellectually, I loved my job, but I didn't get any meaning from it.
