He [Bill Clinton] likes to hearken back to his kind of Irish roots, so I think he'd love to be called First Laddy.
I love the right words. I think economy and precision of language are important.
I think we need to care about the metrics of success in life, and I'm a pretty competitive person.
I'd ask myself, 'What do I think is really unjust?' That should be a starting point for how you engage with the world.
I'm sorry, I don't talk to the press. Even though I think you're cute.
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 just kept thinking about what my mom [Hillary Clinton] has said repeatedly when people have asked her similar questions, she's tough and she can take whatever people say about her.
I think that we need women role models everywhere. I think that it's really hard to imagine yourself as something that you don't see.
Celebrate those who have the courage to be second, because I do think that often there really is this claustrophobic pressure to innovate instead of to adapt.
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.
Over the summer I thought that I would seek out non-Americans as friends, just for diversity's sake. Now I find that I want to be around Americans - people who I know are thinking about our country as much as I am.
The solid, middle-class values of hard work, responsibility, family, community, and faith my father talked about tirelessly from Iowa to New York, he lived at home. The hopes he had for his family and for me, he had for all Americans. I think Americans understood this.
People who imagine and implement solutions to challenges in their own lives, in their communities, in our country and in our world have always inspired me.
I've always been aware of both how extraordinarily normal and how extraordinarily extraordinary my life has been. It's always been important, first to my parents when I was younger, and now very much to me, to live in the world. I would never want to live in a cloister.
