I'm one of six kids, and the eight of us lived for over a decade in either a bus or a boat.

If I am hungry, that is a material problem; if someone else is hungry, that is a spiritual problem.

I've been asked a lot for my view on American health care. Well, 'it would be a good idea,' to quote Gandhi.

Some people talk about Haiti as being the graveyard of development projects.

I think, sometimes, that I'm going nuts, and that perhaps there is something good about blocking clean water for those who have none, making sure that illiterate children remain so, and preventing the resuscitation of the public health sector in the country most in need of it. Lunacy is what it is.

You can't have public health without working with the public sector. You can't have public education without working with the public sector in education.

People call me a saint and I think, I have to work harder. Because a saint would be a great thing to be.
