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.
I think that the presidency really brings out the best in a lot of people.
I grew up in a household where reading was encouraged. My mother believed in the power of words, and my father obviously did too.
I've been a Democrat all my life.
I don't remember my father reading to me, but I remember him telling me bedtime stories. I got to pick what was in them, and then he'd make them up.
I enjoy writing. I enjoy that kind of process.
Going into politics is something people have asked me about forever.
Now is the time to move this country forward.
The amazing thing about the winners is that none of them really felt that they were doing anything special. They just felt like it was the right thing to do.
The most beautiful people are all in the library.
Education was the most important value in our home when I was growing up.
I may, and I think I represent a tradition that means a lot to me, which has really always been about fighting for others, for middle-class families, for working class - for working people, you know, and that's a tradition and a commitment that I take very seriously.
