I can't understand why the front pages of newspapers can cover bird flu and swine flu and everybody is up in arms about that and we still haven't really woken up to the fact that so many women in sub-Saharan Africa - 60 percent of people in - infected with HIV are women.

Fame for fame's sake is toxic - some people want that, with no boundaries. It's unhealthy.

Charity is a fine thing if it's meeting a gap where needs must be met and there are no other resources. But in the long term we need to support people into helping themselves.

Churches, depending on their policy, can do fantastic work with people in the community.

You can live with almost any condition if you're living within a community of people who can share a common understanding.
