The thing about rights is that in the end you can't prove what should be considered a right.

I'm not an austere person.

We have to design a health delivery system by actually talking to people and asking, 'What would make this service better for you?' As soon as you start asking, you get a flood of answers.

Civil and political rights are critical, but not often the real problem for the destitute sick. My patients in Haiti can now vote but they can't get medical care or clean water.

In fact, it seems to me that making strategic alliances across national borders in order to treat HIV among the world's poor is one of the last great hopes of solidarity across a widening divide.

I think that looking forward it's easy to imagine more constructive help for Haiti.

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