If you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself, and make a change.

Because I wanted to have a place that I could create everything that I that I never had as a child. So, you see rides. You see animals. There's a movie theater.

I can tell you there are rewards that go far beyond money and public acclaim and awards.

If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.
