Young people, when informed and empowered, when they realize that what they do truly makes a difference, can indeed change the world.

The awful thing is we don't respect each other.

They used to ask: "How will this decision that we make today affect our people in the future?" Now we make decisions based on: "How does it affect me, now? How does it affect the next shareholders meeting, three months ahead? How does it affect my next political campaign?"

I was even accused of teaching the chimps how to fish for termites which I mean that would have been such a brilliant coup.

Here we are, the most clever species ever to have lived. So how is it we can destroy the only planet we have?

We are always talking about how we can get more environmental and humanitarian education. It is about listening to the voice of young people - how they feel, and what would be most meaningful for them.

I was the sort of person who didn't care about hairdressing and clothes and parties and boyfriends. I really wanted to be in the wild.
