I was a high-school teacher. I am a strong advocate for women's rights, and I'm not a woman.

I am a teacher. It's how I define myself. A good teacher isn't someone who gives the answers out to their kids but is understanding of needs and challenges and gives tools to help other people succeed. That's the way I see myself, so whatever it is that I will do eventually after politics, it'll have to do a lot with teaching.

I am a strong woman. I come from a background as a prosecutor.

If I have to, I can do anything. I am strong, I am invincible, I am Woman.

I am a strong woman with or without this other person, with or without this job, and with or without these tight pants.

My grandmother was a teacher, my sister was a teacher, my daughter was a teacher and is now a superintendent in northern California, and my son-in-law is a high school principal. I am surrounded.
