To be a mother, a housewife, never cost me any sacrifice - I savored every minute of those years.

I don't know how to put on an act; I always show myself for what I am, in whatever mood I'm in.

At first people asked us, 'Can you do it?' And we kept silent because we didn't believe in ourselves, we didn't believe that we could do things. Today people no longer say to us, 'Can you?' They say, 'When can you?' Because the Indians finally believe in themselves, they believe they can do things.

I think one should do what seems right. And if what seems right involves danger...well, one must risk the danger.

I would like to ask a question. Would this sort of war or savage bombing which has taken place in Vietnam have been tolerated for so long, had the people been European?

Peace we want because there is another war to fight against poverty, disease and ignorance.

For me it's absolutely the same - I treat one and the other in exactly the same way. As persons, that is, not as men and women. But, even here, you have to consider the fact that I've had a very special education, that I'm the daughter of a man like my father and a woman like my mother.
