One of the biggest challenges of writing for middle-grade or even young-adult readers is that I don’t want to have too much violence in it – which really limits what you can do.

What I would say is that vows and rings don’t change anything: the challenges are the same. Every day is just a conscious commitment to making the next day better. – America Ferrera
Truly, the challenges we face are not Democratic challenges or Republican challenges. In fact, they are not political challenges at all; they are fiscal challenges, and educational challenges, and the challenges of figuring out how to take care of each other. – Christine Gregoire
