Key Quotes:

“If you want to stay home with your children…there is nothing wrong with that. When you get back in the workforce, you’ll have more skills than virtually anyone else. You’re a manager, you’re a psychologist, you’re a disciplinarian, you’re a leader, you’re a time manager. It’s a real job that requires you to learn on the job and learn a lot and learn it fast.”
“I think it’s really important that when you are fortunate and you are successful, it’s important to give back.”
