At the current pace of change, we won't have universal access to education in 100 years, let alone five, and that is unacceptable.

I think this generation can play a very important role. If we act now, this could be the first generation to witness universal education.

My hope is that every country in Latin America will make a significant commitment to supporting early childhood development programs.

If I could, I'd live in the nude, like Eve in paradise.

A poor child who receives high-quality early childhood development is 40 percent less likely to need special education, twice as likely to attend college and dramatically more likely to survive childhood.

I live for freedom, and freedom is a lie.

I don't go out without make up. I'm a woman, you know.
