I would like to see the gay population get on board with feminism. It's a beautiful organisation and they've done so much. It seems to me a no-brainer.

I was born in 1954. My parents were brought up in the war years, and life was hard.

Each individual is as individual as their fingerprints, and I think that's extraordinary.

Such is the scale and depth of poverty in many parts of the world that it won't be ended overnight. That is why if, like me, you want to see an end to poverty, you need to be in it for the long haul.

In the States, the HIV transmission from mother to child is almost completely preventable - the only mothers who really do transmit it are the ones who don't come in for care. If a mother in the United States or in Europe or in the UK comes to care and gets her medicines, she will have an HIV negative baby. Most people don't know that.

Just having medicine isn't equivalent to medical care. You need the health systems, you need to create the social framework so that people feel safe.

I have a calling in my soul, if you like, to try to make my life in some way worthwhile. What is the value of my existence?
