I'm tough, I'm pushy, I'm really loud. I used to spend a lot of time thinking about it.

The library of my elementary school had this great biography section, and I read all of these paperback biographies until they were dog-eared. The story of Eleanor Roosevelt and Madame Curie and Martin Luther King and George Washington Carver and on and on and on. Christine Quinn biographycarvercurie share on social

I think 'having it all' is a phrase I don't particularly like. You need to have what you want. 'All' seems to me to be an imposed list, an imposed definition by society of what 'all' is supposed to be. Christine Quinn definitionimposelist share on social
