I'm a business person at heart.

I was in the White House for a year and a half. Up to that point, all my jobs had been very unglamorous.

I love bringing people together. I think that the environment is so important in terms of what kind of relationships you might be able to create, how people get to know each other.

As social secretary, I was responsible for putting together all the events that the President and the First Lady host.

It's the past, it's behind us, and that's the end of it.

We have not really advertised Chicago internationally.
