I've seen firsthand that being president doesn't change who you are. It reveals who you are.

I think that people are tired. They're tired of the same old kind of politics. People want a new tone to politics.

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

I like to talk about my obsession with french fries because I don't want people to think that 'Let's Move' is about complete, utter deprivation. It's about moderation and real-life changes and ideas that really work for families.

Whether you come from a council estate or a country estate, your success will be determined by your own confidence and fortitude.
