He [Bill Clinton] likes to hearken back to his kind of Irish roots, so I think he'd love to be called First Laddy.
Even during my father's 1984 gubernatorial campaign, it was, 'Do you want to grow up and be governor one day?' 'No. I am four.'
I am so proud and grateful to be my mom's daughter.
Thinking about the world writ large, I am more optimistic than not that we will tackle our most pressing challenges, whether poverty or equality for women and girls or climate change; but I also know we'll only tackle them if people are really informed about the challenge and what's proven to work.
I certainly believe that all of my friends should have the right, as Marc and I did, to marry their best friend. I certainly expect my straight friends to help us achieve that for all New Yorkers, for all Americans, and for the children that, at least, Marc and I hope to have someday.
Of course [I'm a feminist]. And everyone I know is a feminist.
I've always been incredibly proud of both of my parents and proud of the work I had done privately as a person, professionally and academically.
For most young Americans I know, 'serving' in the broadest sense now seems like the only thing to do.
I am excited to work with NBC News to continue to highlight stories of organizations and individuals who make their communities and our world healthier, more just and more humane.
I'm definitely voting for First Gentleman.
At the fourth grade level, girls at the same percentages of boys say they're interested in careers in engineering or math or astrophysics, but by eighth grade that has dropped precipitously.
I unapologetically and unabashedly am deeply biased toward my mother.
My parents always asked me what I thought, listened to my opinions, articulated their diagnoses of our challenges at home and abroad, and shared their ideas for how to build a more equal and prosperous country. I always felt part of their call to serve and part of my father's journey.
Every day at some point I encounter some sort of anti-American feeling.
