She was optimistic about the upcoming cover, calling it "happy and optimistic."
She said: "I can't imagine anyone will actually find this cover, but that's for sure." "(This is an image of a woman who controls her own life, and it will bring us… the leadership we need. To me, this is just a very important but positive statement about women and women. Power."
