For all the tornadoes Arkansas has, and the ones that have hit around Little Rock, we never had one just basically come down Main Street,
I certainly feel a strong call of public service.
We need women who are at the head of a boardroom, like at the head of the White House, at the head of kind of major scientific enterprises so that little girls everywhere can then think, you know what? I can do that, I want to do that, I will do that.
As a mom, what I found so disturbing were the things that were being said on a national stage - I mean, literally on the stage and off the stage, around the convention about women, about minorities, about Muslims, about immigrants.
I'm a big health food freak and a vegetarian devotee.
He [Bill Clinton] likes to hearken back to his kind of Irish roots, so I think he'd love to be called First Laddy.
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 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.
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.
What inspires me most are people who imagine and implement solutions to challenges in their own lives, in their communities, in our country and around the world.
A tin roof is one of the greatest indicators of prosperity in the developing world.
I loved working on Wall Street. I loved the meritocracy of it and the camaraderie of the trading floor.
I do really well in the traditional board games: Backgammon, Checkers.
For most of my life, I deliberately led a private life in the public eye.
