The Girl Scouts is where I became acquainted with the idea that a woman can do anything. Learning that early on has a tremendous impact on the development of a young girl's personality. It had a huge impact on me. Girl Scouts is where I first learned about philanthropy and fell in love with the concept of helping others-in my troop this was very important. We did a lot of community service like picking up trash and feeding the homeless. Loving humankind was something that echoed throughout my time at Girl Scouts.

I like crunchy things like Baked Lays.

I hope my desire to travel so much isn't forever because it's not the most conducive lifestyle for a relationship or a family by any means.

I used to be so twig skinny that I couldn't eat enough, because I was just naturally skinny. Until I went to China.

Such a small percentage of our population carry the burden of knowing what's really going on in our country's name, and I think that unless that's out in the open and people are discussing it, then our healthy democracy is not so healthy.

I hadn’t wanted to have a kid until I met my partner.

I honestly never had the biological need to reproduce until I met my husband. But by the same token, even if we were unsuccessful, we were totally okay with adopting.
