In tough economic times, we have to make every dollar count, and studies have shown a return of up to $17 for every dollar invested in early childhood.

The first years of a child's life are too important for a child's future - their development, earnings, behavior, and health - for anyone to ignore.

I'm happy. I have a man who makes me happy. And a family, which is what I most wanted in life.

If you can prove the existence of God, it can only be proven through love.

My brain, I believe, is the most beautiful part of my body.

I'm proud that I've been able to work with other artists to make sure that the smallest voices - the voices of our children - have a chance to be heard. Artists can reach, inspire, and motivate young people and leaders in a powerful way.

I admire a person who, for the love of art, is able to take off their clothes in front of a camera. But I'm not capable, I'm too cowardly for that.
