There is no magic to achievement. It's really about hard work, choices, and persistence.

Gardening has increased, community gardens have increased significantly. There are 50 percent more community gardens right here in Washington DC.

Some kids have never seen what a real tomato looks like off the vine. They don't know where a cucumber comes from. And that really affects the way they view food. So a garden helps them really get their hands dirty, literally, and understand the whole process of where their food comes from. And I wanted them to see just how challenging and rewarding it is to grow your own food, so that they would better understand what our farmers are doing every single day across this country and have an appreciation for ... that American tradition of growing our own food and feeding ourselves.

It should be fun introducing kids to fruits and vegetables. If you start young, it will be something that they'll attach to really quickly.

'Let's Move!' is not about having government tell people what to do, because government doesn't have all the answers.

I come here today as a Christian, a person of faith who believes we've all been called to serve our fellow men and women and to honor God's creation. We want our girls to know right from wrong, to always tell the truth, to treat people no matter who they are with dignity and respect, no matter how different they may seem...because we want our girls to know we are all God's children and there's so much more that unites than divides us.

My view is that if you can't run your own house, you certainly can't run the White House. Can't do it.
