I think it's important to have some documentation of the past.

I am a white guy in America with an education, albeit high school, but a pretty good one. Another guy from a different demographic or different ethnicity in America can look at me and say, "You take a lot for granted." Well... okay. I just live in a white male American reality, where I hear you but I don't know if I necessarily read you.

I'm trying to be confrontational and direct. If I lack directness then I only have myself to blame because I lack the skills to make my point clear.

A lot of Americans don't have a passport, never will have a passport. Not only will they not travel, they don't want to travel.

I think young people should travel and travel often to other countries like I do.

When I was a kid looking at pictures of the Sphynx, and the Pyramids, and different tribes in Africa, all of that stuck with me, and I always wanted to see those things and meet those people.

If I hear, 'Be afraid of Tehran,' I'm like, 'I'd better go to Tehran.'
