I've raised three kids. I'm a lawyer. I've written books on the Constitution.
I think that the presidency really brings out the best in a lot of people.
Growing up in politics I know that women decide all elections because we do all the work.
I feel like my grandparents and parents gave me a tremendous amount. And if I can pass some of that on, then I'll be very happy.
In terms of my marriage, you know, falling in love with my husband was by far the best thing that's ever happened to me.
I am, you know, a Democrat through and through. I've always voted Democratic. You know, that is where my heart lies.
To the extent that we are all educated and informed, we will be more equipped to deal with the gut issues that tend to divide us.
John and I were lucky because our mother was a strong woman with high expectations and a strong sense of values. She encouraged us to pursue things we were interested in and not think about what other people wanted us to do.
I grew up in New York, I love New York.
I have a lifelong devotion to public service.
I know how important it is to, you know, to be my own person.
Change isn't easy, it takes time.
Going into politics is something people have asked me about forever.
I enjoy writing. I enjoy that kind of process.
