I'm sorry, I don't talk to the press. Even though I think you're cute.

For most of my life, I did deliberately lead a private life and inadvertently led a public life.

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.

I hope that young people will also look to politics as a vehicle to not only have their voices heard, but actually to be the change makers that they want to see. They are disaffected, understandably, but I hope that young people will not only turn out to vote but also run for office.

When my father announced his campaign for president on Oct. 3, 1991, I had already cast my vote in favor of his candidacy.

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.

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.

Every day at some point I encounter some sort of anti-American feeling.

I know I'm late, but I've finally joined Facebook!

My parents and my grandmother inspire me every day and, every day, in my work and personal life.

I think about how best to live my grandmother's twin mantras that 'Life is not a dress rehearsal' and 'Life is not about what happens to you, but what you do with what happens to you.'

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.

Through their 'Making a Difference' franchise, 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.

Oxford is wonderful. I'm having a great time. We do go out, but I still try to spend most of my time studying in the library.

My parents taught me to approach the world critically, but also to approach it with a sense of responsibility.

For most of my life, I deliberately led a private life in the public eye.

My parents have been incredibly supportive from perhaps the first real independent decision I made to become a vegetarian at 11, which was certainly not consistent with their diet at the time.

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.

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.

My mother is very good in Scrabble. In Boggle, my father is probably better.

I do really well in the traditional board games: Backgammon, Checkers.

I always knew I was the center of my parents.

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 certainly feel a strong call of public service.

I hadn't planned on or expected to have a public dimension in my life.

I live in a city and a state and a country where I support my elected representatives.

I just hope that I will be as good a mom to my child, and hopefully children, as my mom was to me.

We have to do whatever we can to ensure that no child dies of diarrhea.

I think that there are more opportunities for young women in America than there are in Tanzania. But I also think there are many of the same problems.

For most young Americans I know, 'serving' in the broadest sense now seems like the only thing to do.

I love the right words. I think economy and precision of language are important.

Running is my prophylactic stress relief for the day. Or the segue so that I can go home and be with my husband in a kind of clearheaded way.

Running is the one part of my life in which I fundamentally feel like the observer instead of the observed.

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.

I lead a multi-faith life.

I love my parents, and I want my mother to be president.

I loved working on Wall Street. I loved the meritocracy of it and the camaraderie of the trading floor.

A tin roof is one of the greatest indicators of prosperity in the developing world.

My parents were definitely on the incentive side of parenting. Like, they told me that my father had learned to read when he was three. So, of course, I thought I had to, too.

When people say crazy stuff about me or my family, I don't take it seriously.

I was always deeply aware that I was living in history.

I definitely taught my parents how to text and how to charge their phones.

My parents were very firm about me always getting my homework done.

My marriage is incredibly important to me. It's the place from which I engage in the world every day, and the place to which I return every day.

I was a vegetarian for 10 years and a pescetarian for eight. Then I woke up one day when I was 29 and craved red meat. I'm a big believer in listening to my body's cravings.

My father has always been such a doer.

Service is an opportunity for young women to really empower themselves.

Service is a deceptively profound way to prove not only what you can do for the world, but what you can tell the world to expect from you and your ambitions.

What's profound and exciting is the way young people are taking advantage of the fact that the Internet enables everyone to have a megaphone. It enables everyone to stand up and say, 'I deserve to be heard, and I demand that you listen.'
