There is a learning quality in all of our shows.

Somebody like me wouldn't have gone on to the Trisha show because I already had a public profile.

Most of my peers in television seem to be from a different planet. I don't hang out with any of them.

I suggest that instead of criticising us, the establishment has a bloody good look at itself.

The idea that there is one kind of African is, of course, ridiculous. Sometimes African entrepreneurs want to kill you because you are saying public health is the priority, not roads. Of course they are right to press for that issue, but so are we right, I believe, to argue, for example, that millions of children could and should be vaccinated.

The Affordable Care Act was passed in large part because of recognition that our nation's health care system is not working. The act is not perfect, but it is a starting point, and we have been using it to improve the health of Coloradans.

There's a certain trope in young adult fiction. A young girl gets cancer and becomes this radiant person who's a fountain of insight. Everyone who encounters her is changed for the better. That doesn't happen all the time. The whole thing is much more difficult to process. Adults have trouble with it, so why shouldn't we expect teens to?

Sadly, for some mothers, this experience can be made so much harder due to challenges with our very mental health.
