Don't walk in with a colonial mindset and say, "We know your problem and we're going to fix it."

America comes from a flawed but wonderful idea. Many great things have sprung forth over the past few hundred years but there were deep issues in the beginning that now are starting to show up.

I've seen women essentially martyr themselves for the good of the future and the good of their children and, again, the good of love.

Men have taken advantage of that for hundreds and probably thousands of years.
