A lot of my colleagues at school became great friends of mine.
I'm more like my father, personality-wise. But my mom and I get alone really well, obviously, because my mom and my dad get along so well.
My first cat was named Cowboy, after the Dallas Cowboys.
Writers know - especially new writers - [that] a lot of it [creative process] is the prewriting stage, the talking, brainstorming, the narrative arc and the character sketches.
I was sports editor for my high school newspaper, but I think I shied away from journalism.
I don't think I'm portrayed in the media the way I really am - but then who is?
I'm sure there were times when I wish I had thought, 'Gosh, that might really embarrass mom and dad,' but our parents didn't raise us to think about them. They're very selfless and they wanted us to have as normal of a college life as possible. So really, we didn't think of any repercussions.
I think there are many ways to serve your country.
We [work] really hard to make sure we accomplish everything we want in life, but we don't think about being the president's daughter; we don't think about that, really.
I hope to focus on what I'm passionate about because I think I'd do them best job on them - education, urban education, women and children's issues and literacy,
As a teacher you can see the difference in kids who have parents who were involved. That difference, by the time these kids get to the third grade, is drastic.
When you grow up as the daughters of George and Laura Bush, you develop a special appreciation for how blessed we are to live in this great country.
[My mom] is quite the strict editor. I feel like maybe she has more of the old-school editing style, which really works in picture books, because you don't want to articulate anything in words that is already shown through the pictures.
Luckily I've had a lot of great friends that I've had for a long time.
