Michelle Obama

For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction.

I always tell young girls, surround yourself with goodness. I learned early on how to get the haters out of my life.

I always want to be on the cusp of being in the best shape that I can be. What I’m discovering is that the older you get, the more work you have to do to stay there.

I am an example of what is possible when girls from the very beginning of their lives are loved and nurtured by people around them. I was surrounded by extraordinary women in my life who taught me about quiet strength and dignity.

I am only as good as my children are.

I can make choices that make me happy, and it will ripple and benefit my kids, my husband, and my physical health. That’s hard for women to own; we’re not taught to do that.

I have the privilege of working on the issues that I choose and the issues that I feel most passionate about. It’s been a privilege.
