What Tunisia urgently needs, is freedom and the building of a real democracy.

I dream of a free, democratic, peaceful Tunisia, a country that can protect its developing identity.

We in Tunisia have no problem with respecting other peoples religion, and we have a long tradition of that.

I believe that women should have equal rights to education, to work and to civic and political engagement.

Just like in medicine, when the normal medicine no longer works, one resorts to surgery. And the revolutions is like the surgery: Its painful, and its the last resort for nations.

I believe democracy will succeed in Tunisia, but I also believe that it will succeed in the other Arab Spring countries.

The dictatorship needs to be entirely dismantled. All the rest of the old guard must go.

There is no one in al-Nahda that is violence is a means of change or to keep power. Everyone in al-Nahda believes that democracy is the only way to reach power and to stay in power.

I hope that with the success of the transition to democracy in Tunisia that we will export to Egypt a working democratic model.

The goal of the Head Start program is to give at-risk children all across our Nation a fair chance at succeeding in the educational system.

Mysteries are not necessarily miracles.

Whether thats positive or not, people are talking about the Old Vic Theater again with passion and commitment and controversy and debate.

If ever I do a mean action, it must be in some interval betwixt one passion and another.

For me to be ten pounds thinner is a full-time job, and I am handing in my notice and walking out the door!!

AIDS is no longer a death sentence for those who can get the medicines. Now it's up to the politicians to create the "comprehensive strategies" to better treat the disease.
