I've always been incredibly proud of both of my parents and proud of the work I had done privately as a person, professionally and academically.

I am so proud and grateful to be my mom's daughter.

As a mom, what I found so disturbing were the things that were being said on a national stage - I mean, literally on the stage and off the stage, around the convention about women, about minorities, about Muslims, about immigrants.

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

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

My grandmother was determined that everyone feel a sense of optimism and opportunity. Marc and I want to make sure we're doing that. This period of our lives is not just a tribute to her, it's inspired by her. And it's for when we have our own children — I want to help make sure we've got a world I want them to live in.

I just kept thinking about what my mom [Hillary Clinton] has said repeatedly when people have asked her similar questions, she's tough and she can take whatever people say about her.
