I've had the good fortune and blessing to run for the offices for which I really wanted to do the work.

The American dream belongs to all of us.

Women should not allow themselves to be caught up in the hype that says performance, meaning the motions, is what matters.

I have a difficult time sitting down for long periods.

I work out every morning. Only half an hour. I get on the treadmill. That's it. Every morning, I don't care what time. It gets your blood flowing. It gets your adrenaline flowing. I believe in eating well. It's not fanatical. Eat good food. Make sure you've got good vegetables.

I'm one of the luckiest people on Earth.

I was raised to be an independent woman, not the victim of anything.
