I think I've become more like my mom just because of what we're both interested in, children and teaching and writing.

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.

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.

My dad saw my husband's boss at a conference, and he said to stop paying my husband until we produce children.

I'm aware that not all kids can pick up and fly to Panama. I'm very lucky.

I can't wish I weren't something that I am.

I don't have any children. I just have a cat, to my parents' dismay.

I didn't go to Latin America thinking, 'I'm gonna write a book. This is what I'm gonna do.' I went there to work for UNICEF and to learn.

I'm just not political. I have opinions, but there's nothing about the process that has ever interested me. I'm 22, and this is the first interview I've ever done in my life.

My first cat was named Cowboy, after the Dallas Cowboys.

I hope that I serve by being a teacher.

Don't just discover . . . Encounter!

I think Shakespeare is everybody's treasure.

At banquets surfeit not, but fill; partake, and retire; and eat not again till you crave.

What I really love is my scotch. It's the power, the power of positive drinking.

Thanks to impermanence, everything is possible.

Nights, sweet as they, Made short by lovers play, Yet long by the absence of the day.

Most white Americans only discovered the blues with the British invasion.

I love National Geographic. Just when you think you've seen the last lost native tribe, National Geographic will find a new one.
