I've always been a closet jock, but when I got married and had kids, that fell by the wayside.

I think if I weren't married to [Barack Obama], I'd want him to be in there.

It's important for us not to lose sight of the fact that this is a family that's grieving and there's been a tremendous loss. And we all have to rally around that piece of it.

Policies that support families aren't political issues. They're personal. They're the causes I carry with me every single day.

What I know for sure is that all the sacrifice and challenges we face are worth it if we're creating a better future for our kids. I just think if the adults are always thinking about the world we want to leave for our kids, we're going to make the right choices every single time.

For me, being a mother made me a better professional, because coming home every night to my girls reminded me what I was working for. And being a professional made me a better mother, because by pursuing my dreams, I was modeling for my girls how to pursue their dreams.

Fruits and vegetables for some kids are scary and not fun.
