The best lesson that I've learned from my mother is that she just never accepted no for an answer and I think that's something that has stayed with me.

No other health disparity is so stark; virtually every woman who dies giving birth lives in a poor country.

I can contribute, be valuable and grow in many ways, since my interests are so varied. That is very satisfying.

In 1967, the world health community launched a global effort to eradicate smallpox. It took a coordinated, worldwide effort, required the commitment of every government, and cost $130 million dollars. By 1977, smallpox had disappeared.

It is important for me that I represent a brand that reflects my personality.

Doing designs on a loom takes a lot of talent and experience, and, trust me, I won't be able to do that.

What I love most about Mother's Day is that I am acknowledged and honored for being a mother.
