I'm most interested in public service. I think that's something that I got from being part of my family, which is such an honor.
Most of the people who are in elective office in Washington, D.C., they have held public office before. How's that workin' for you?
This idea that once you get into politics you are now signed up for lifelong duty being in elective office, makes a fundamental error - and that is believing that the only way you can hold progressive views and implement them is in elective office.

I come from a family in which public service was something to aspire to.
I'm inspired by my family's legacy of public service. It's something that I'm very proud of.
I think public service is a calling and you do it as long as the things that brought you into the office can continue getting you up in the morning and as long as there's still work to get done.
My family's very medical, so as a field, that, I think, it's so important and wonderful, something I'm definitely interested in. Just not for a living!
Wes Craven is obviously a horror film icon so I was definitely very interested in bringing something back to life that Wes had created.
I've definitely had my hard partying moments. I've definitely had the long stretches of time in my personal life where I've felt an intense loneliness and a desperation to feel something real and to have something that truly meant something in my life.
I think the idea of family and protecting the family is something that ties a lot of these women together.
'Star Wars' was something that I was definitely interested in. Whether or not I was really involved isn't something that I should probably disclose.
I'm interested in human behavior, and what happened in my family life is definitely not a unique story. There are aspects of that I'm sure you can see through the work. But I'm just looking for something that touches me.
If I want to continue to build the kind of effort we have with Do Something, being in a public office would help. I wouldn't rule it out, but it's not something I feel determined to do.
A politician never forgets the precarious nature of elective life. We have never established a practice of tenure in public office.
The traditional path to making a name for yourself in our family is running for elective office, and I couldn't do that because, for one thing, all the really good offices were taken.
