I love french fries, I like a good burger, and I like pie. And that's okay. I would be depressed if I felt I could never eat the things that I love. I also don't want my girls to be obsessed about food. We don't have a "no junk food" rule - I just want them to think about their choices.

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

I don't have the stressful job. Barack Obama does.

I have the privilege of working on the issues that I choose and the issues that I feel most passionate about. It's been a privilege.

Like so many American families, our families weren't asking for much. They didn't begrudge anyone else's success or care that others had much more than they did, in fact, they admired it.

When you walk through that door of opportunity you don't slam it shut behind you.

We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own 'to do' list.
