My grandmother was determined that everyone feel a sense of optimism and opportunity. Marc and I want to make sure we're doing that.

My mother has often said that the issue of women is the unfinished business of the 21st century. That is certainly true. But so, too, are the issues of LGBT rights the unfinished business of the 21st century.

I think that we need women role models everywhere. I think that it's really hard to imagine yourself as something that you don't see.

Determination gets you a long way.
