When I heard that heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined - when I heard that, I knew. The other thing that's very important is that heart disease...is preventable. There are some specific lifestyle changes that women can make: losing weight, not smoking, exercising, eating healthy foods. Knowing the risk factors: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, [being] overweight. And if you have heart disease in your family, you should see your doctor. Because this disease is preventable.

I've always loved children. When I was working with children as a librarian, I loved being with them and working around them.

I think it’s important that (Roe v. Wade) remain legal for medical reasons and other reasons.

If you take the burden of health care, of diseases off the backs of some other countries, it gives them a chance to use their own very limited resources in ways that help their people. And also there's a hopelessness associated with deadly diseases, that if that can be alleviated, people can build their own economies in their own countries and they'll be less reliant on the developed world for help.

I also want to encourage anybody who was affected by Hurricane Corina to make sure their children are in school.

For countries to succeed, for democracies to succeed, the women and men in those countries need to be free. Women and men need to know their rights.

Politics is a people business. I like people.
