I think the Americans need to understand that a lot of times the children are bored in school, and that is why they are not staying in.

Women are the centre of the family. It's the woman who decides what's eaten in the house, when to have the kids vaccinated; everything that has to do with the children's health revolves around her.

Even in decision-making, we work in self-help groups. That is women coming together in small groups of 10 to sometimes 15 women, where they start to get education about their rights, about clean water and sanitation, about how to have a healthy birth. You can bring in all kinds of education to them that way.

The premise of this foundation is one life on this planet is no more valuable than the next.

I'm happy we have three healthy children and we'll stay with three healthy children.

I realized that the only way to get into a good college was to be valedictorian or salutatorian. So that was my goal.

That's universal - we all want to bring every good thing to our children. But what's not universal is our ability to provide every good thing.
