I really feel concerned about young people within our present culture. Our present culture, we have to change. Change is inevitable and I wasn't raised in our present culture but it has great pressure that as a young person I never had. Material pressure, social pressure, visual pressure, how you look, and I just try to appeal to young people to think for themselves, to be their own person, and to ask questions and also be very attentive to our planet and our environment.

I'd never had people drive me around, and then all of a sudden, if a car didn't come, I'd say, "Where's my car?"

If the postman is saying hello to you, then I feel like, wow, thats something special.

I gave you a wrist watch, baby, and you wouldn't even give me the time of day.

Sometimes I get lost in watching a film. The sorrow, or the frustration, is when it doesn't happen for a long time.

I watch a lot of crime shows. The head investigator always said to the crime solver, "What do you say?" And inevitably the other has to say something like, "Well I'm thinking he was shot in the neck with a certain gun and he seemed to be running." The solver has to picture what he's seeing first, and then express his own observations. The writer does the same.

I always hope that young people will think for themselves and also most importantly, understand that they should judge themselves on their own merit, their good deeds, however simple, to not judge themselves by what they have materially, by what other people think of them, through social media.
