If we're going to make progress on this issue [of contraception], we have to be really clear about what our agenda is. We're not talking about abortion. We're not talking about population control. What I'm talking about is giving women the power to save their lives, to save their children's lives and to give their families the best possible future.

You are indebted to life until you help some less fortunate person, just as you were helped.

If we don't empower women, we don't allow them to unlock the potential of themselves and their children.

It's really one of my all-time favorite things to do. To go out and really see the kids and visit the moms who are in these programs because I think I really get to see what happens on the ground and connect with them about what changes are that happen in their lives because of some of the giving that we're able to do.

Birth control has almost completely and totally disappeared from the global health agenda, and the victims of this paralysis are the people of Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

We set out what's going to be our work time versus our foundation time versus family time, and we'll reassess that... sometimes every week.

All lives have an equal value.
