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'm always struck by how innately curious kids are about the world around us and how engaged and sensitive they are to what is happening .. and how many kids do want to be engaged and do what to make a difference.

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

Of course [I'm a feminist]. And everyone I know is a feminist.

My marriage is incredibly important to me. It's the place from which I engage in the world every day, and the place to which I return every day.

My grandmother was determined that everyone feel a sense of optimism and opportunity. Marc and I want to make sure we're doing that. This period of our lives is not just a tribute to her, it's inspired by her. And it's for when we have our own children — I want to help make sure we've got a world I want them to live in.

I'm definitely voting for First Gentleman.
