It just seems so fundamental to me. I'm able to marry the person I wanted to marry. That's the fundamental human imperative. Those of us who have been lucky enough should expand these rights to others.

I have a boyfriend and a dog, and I still haven't figured out what I want to be when I grow up.

I think we need to care about the metrics of success in life, and I'm a pretty competitive person.

My parents have been incredibly supportive from perhaps the first real independent decision I made to become a vegetarian at 11, which was certainly not consistent with their diet at the time.

What inspires me most are people who imagine and implement solutions to challenges in their own lives, in their communities, in our country and around the world.

We need women who are at the head of a boardroom, like at the head of the White House, at the head of kind of major scientific enterprises so that little girls everywhere can then think, you know what? I can do that, I want to do that, I will do that.

I love the right words. I think economy and precision of language are important.
