The most notable lines from Michelle Obama’s deeply personal Essence interview:

Michelle Obama on Saturday recalled her life as a mother, wife and the first lady of the United States while speaking with CBS “This Morning” co-host Gayle King before an audience gathered at the Essence Festival in New Orleans.
