I really want to go to Harvard; it's just a matter of timing.

I don't think I could have thought of any place other than Stanford to leave Harvard for.

I went into Harvard one way and came out a different person... It's the air at Harvard; it's like a Renaissance court.

At Harvard, you don't major. You concentrate.

I've been awed by the incredible opportunities that automatically float to the Harvard undergrads I once taught - from building homes for the poor in Nicaragua to landing prime White House internships.

Four years was enough of Harvard. I still had a lot to learn, but had been given the liberating notion that now I could teach myself.

One thing that used to worry me is the fact that it seemed like Harvard was this big scary thing where I would have to spend all my time studying just to get in. But getting to go to both campuses of Harvard and Oxford and getting to meet some of the professors was absolutely amazing.

If you're last in your class at Harvard, it doesn't feel like you're a good student, even though you really are. It's not smart for everyone to want to go to a great school.

I picked Harvard because it was in a big city, and a lot of girls' schools were nearby. And I liked President Kennedy, who went to Harvard.
