I care much more about saving the lives of mothers and babies than I do about a fancy museum somewhere.

When we invest in women and girls, we are investing in the people who invest in everyone else.

But iPods and iPhones are two things we don't get for our kids.

We look in our own backyard and say, 'How do we help at-risk families, at risk youth? How do we think through some of the problems affecting the Pacific Northwest and make some change there?'

I'm wholehearted about whatever I do.

The biggest pieces of work that we do are vaccines, because those save lives, and also family planning. Because if a woman can space the births of her children, it changes everything for her health and her child's health.

If you can't go to secondary school, the boys get to go and the girls don't, you're locked into a cycle of poverty, because you don't have a chance.
