I want women, especially young women, to create a world where your success is not based on being young.

You have to be committed to expand rights and opportunities for all women.

I'm not obsessed with the rights of women; it can be a bit excessive. I want to put men and women on an equal footing. I think we are equal but different.

I want every version of a woman and a man to be possible. I want women and men to be able to be full-time parents or full-time working people or any combination of the two.

My grandmother grew up in a 19th-century world, and my daughter has grown up in a 21st-century world, and some issues, problems, dilemmas that these women face have not changed.

If this world is going to be a better place for our grandchildren and great-grandchildren, it will be women who make it so.

I've found that in places where women have not really been afforded full rights yet - for instance, in the Middle East - even very conservative politicians in the region will say, 'You know, my daughter would really like to meet you,' or, 'Would you send a note to my granddaughter?'

I've been doing a lot of work on female rights, especially adolescent rights. I've been to a lot of schools where the UNICEF had set up villages in India, and it's an eye-opening experience.

I want to make the world a better place, for women, mainly.

I have come to understand that in order to effectively advance women's rights, we need to galvanize a global women's movement.
