When hospitality becomes an art it loses its very soul.

I always knew that St. Jude was an amazing organization but meeting the kids and seeing how the hospital works first hand was truly beautiful. It doesn't feel like a regular hospital all dreary and sad. It's a colorful beautiful comfortable fun place to live and the energy is wonderful.

I just had that conversation this morning with my doctor. I just got back from the hospital a half-hour ago and nothing will make me happier than to replicate the DNA of my amazing husband. I'm optimistic.

Giving birth was the most amazing thing I've ever done. I'd been living in a Third World country and I said 'I'm going to just squat behind a tree.' I basically did that but in a chair in my living room. I didn't want a sterile hospital room. I didn't want doctors. I had a midwife.

It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors hospitals and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors hospitals medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.

By 2050 the Australian population is expected to grow from 22 million to 36 million. That increase alone will put huge pressure on our towns and our cities. We will need more homes more roads more rail lines more hospitals more schools just to accommodate so many Australians.

I like video games but they are very violent. I want to create a video game in which you have to help all the characters who have died in the other games. 'Hey man what are you playing?'

I was a very sickly kid. While I was in the hospital at age 7 my Dad brought me a stack of comic books to keep me occupied. I was hooked.
