I just didn't understand the American political system, and I felt really stupid about that.

I know that I won't succeed at everything, every day. Some days have to be solely about my daughter. Some days I really try to be a good wife. Other days, I can take a few hours for myself and just do nothing but really focus on work.

Life is very interesting... in the end, some of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths.

I think that being happy makes the biggest impact on your physical appearance.

We can't take a step backwards when we've already made so many strides forward. I was raised by gay men and women...it's who I am, you cannot define a family. There are children out there who need these loving homes. These are rights that are fundamental and must be had. And I will fight for however long it takes; I don't want to live in a world where prop 8 exists!

My life takes me all over the world, and I know how hard that can be on a relationship.

I like women who like each other and empower each other.
