If you lead a simple life, and that story is written, then that story will not satisfy. It needs an angle. Suppose there is no angle?

nothing is more important than empathy for another human being's suffering. Nothing. Not a career, not wealth, not intelligence, certainly not status. We have to feel for one another if we're going to survive with dignity.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

There are more important things than outward appearance. No amount of makeup can cover an ugly personality.

The 'Third World' is a term I don't like very much, because we're all one world. I want people to know that the largest part of humanity is suffering.

For me the only things of interests are those linked to the heart

Who thinks you're as fantastic as your dog does?
