I think passive beauties have their place in the world. It's hard for me to relate to that.

I like to touch people's hearts.

Once you start turning over rocks and reaching out to help people, there's a whole avalanche coming right behind it. And it seems never-ending. But when you see the fruits of your labor, you feel like it's possible.

In our house we don't use words like "despise" and 'hate,' we say "strongly dislike."

I want to be like Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, and John Lennon... but I want to stay alive.

I love horses. I think I may have been one of Henry VIII’s knights in another life, riding through a great forest.

When I'm hungry, I eat. When I'm thirsty, I drink. When I feel like saying something, I say it.
