As a partner in a firm full of women who work outside of the home as well as stay at home mothers all with plenty of children gender equality is not a talking point for me. It is an issue I live every day.

Looking back there is nothing wrong with that peace love and equality that the hippies espoused. In many ways we have regressed because they were into organic food back to nature make love not war be good to all men share and share alike - which is what many are talking about now.

So what we're talking about here is human rights. The right to live like a human. The right to live period. And what we're facing in Africa is an unprecedented threat to human dignity and equality.

I don't see this planet being... they're talking about how they're turning around the environmental problems here but I think it's already too late.

I don't think we're going to save anything if we go around talking about saving plants and animals only we've got to translate that into what's in it for us.

Session musicians kind of respected me because what I was talking about made sense. That all came from an education. Believe me education does you more good. Maybe that's the reason I've been around so long.

Education should be one of our top funding priorities talking about it does not help the teachers and students who desperately need promises fulfilled.

I don't think anybody anywhere can talk about the future of their people or of an organization without talking about education. Whoever controls the education of our children controls our future.

I love working with kids talking with them and listening to them. I always encourage kids to reach beyond their dreams. Don't try to be like me. Be better than me.

Talking about food is like talking about your dreams. Everyone has something to say. We all have to eat it's just what we eat which differs. Some people eat for fuel and I feel bad for them.
