Celebrate those who have the courage to be second.

When I first held my daughter, right after she was born, I felt like it was the moment I'd been waiting my whole life for, and it just felt even more miraculous than I ever could have imagined.

When we look at that jingoism and the sexism and the racism and the homophobia, that's not who we are, and that's not the country that I want my daughter to grow up in.

My parents taught me to approach the world critically, but also to approach it with a sense of responsibility.

I'm a big health-food freak and a vegetarian devotee.

My parents were very firm about me always getting my homework done.

I believe that engaging in the political process is part of being a good person.
