Get kids out of poverty. Poverty is devastating.

You win what you can win when you can win it, and keep pushing - all the time. And that's how this game is played. And I'll play it till I can't play it anymore.

All of us know high-I.Q. people with whom we don't want to be in the same room.

So there's much more to life than one's intelligence score. To be a decent human being. To have some character.

We have to stop harming children in child care. I'm trying to make us stop. I wouldn't know what to do otherwise.

I don't think child care is ever going to be much of a federal effort. Just like education. Six or 7 percent - that's all I want from the government. Pay that piece of it for poor or developmentally disabled children.

The best indicator of quality day care is the kid wants to go there, and doesn't want to go home.
