You can't educate people that are not healthy. But you certainly can't keep them healthy if they're not educated.

I always say my God will take care of me. If it's my time I'll go, and if it's not I won't. I feel that He really has a lot of important things for me to do. And He's going to make sure that I'm here to do them.

[On masturbation:] I think that it is part of human sexuality, and perhaps it should be taught.

The best contraceptive in the world is a good education.

We know that more than seventy to eighty percent of women masturbate, and ninety percent of men masturbate, and the rest lie.

Masturbation never got anybody pregnant, does not make anybody go crazy, and what we're about is preventing HIV in our bright young people.

We can begin to address the issue of guns by teaching our young people how to deal with situations in nonviolent ways. Someone said to me the other day, "What our adolescents need is not so much health care, but healthy caring," and I agree. Parents and churches need to provide that. Curricula in our schools [need to] provide that.
