In everything I do, my children come first, and my husband. I just think it's so important to maintain family stability.

I have very distinct things that I like. I have very distinct opinions. Just because I choose to be a little less overt out on the campaign [trail] doesn't mean I'm anything less than very opinionated and very intelligent.

BlackBerrys are a wonderful tool. I'm very tenacious about keeping up with my kids, as they are with me.

I rely on some words that actually my husband said to me. He jokes about saying, "You know it's only darkest before it's totally black!" Even in my darkest hour - and my darkest hour was probably when I lost both my parents - I look to him and I see what he has endured, what he has overcome, what he is doing with his life, and just how he's lived his life.

If you really want to see change, and have change, you're going to have to get involved.

I did learn a great deal about my husband but I also learned something about myself: I made a wise choice. I think he's a good man.

I just want to be who I am. I think all women go through the belief that they need to be superwoman - that to be successful in any way, and I don't necessarily mean in business or anything, but just to be a successful person, you have to be superwoman.
