The point on nonviolence is to build a floor, a strong new floor, beneath which we can no longer sink.

My dread is for my show to be a nostalgia act. So the key to it is how do we keep it fresh?

Hypothetical questions get hypothetical answers.

You may not know it, but at the far end of despair, there is a white clearing where one is almost happy.

I would say that I'm a nonviolent soldier. In place of weapons of violence, you have to use your mind, your heart, your sense of humor, every faculty available to you...because no one has the right to take the life of another human being.

I have hope in people, in individuals. Because you don't know what's going to rise from the ruins.

Action is the antidote to despair.
