Gandhi became my role model. I have always been interested in Eastern philosophy. Since early in my life I've been fascinated by India, and I have spent a great deal of time traveling in that country.

During the first 10 years of my life, while my parents were married, I enjoyed a privileged upbringing. After their divorce, my life was difficult.

The killing of innocent people is always wrong.

I think the difference between El Salvador and Nicaragua is that in Nicaragua you had a popular insurrection, and in El Salvador you had a revolution.

A man who gets divorced is not forever going to be talked about for it. There are very different standards that we have for women than we have for men.

I feel great identification with the developing world.

I am closer to a European viewpoint of the world than an American one. My ethics and ideals are based on European concepts.
