If you want to understand what's going to happen, you can't look in the rearview mirror into the United States' history, because that's done now. You have to look out at the rest of the world and look at the history of the rest of the world, and what you'll see is demonstrations and counter-demonstrations are going to become the norm. We'll have a big march, then they'll have a big march, we'll have a big rally and they'll have a big rally. That will be one of the features. Again, a pro-regime and pro-opposition media system, that will become a feature.

You never know what's coming around the corner and the talent that is going to be important. That is your job."

Whenever you get involved with talking about rights, you're talking about being a citizen. You're talking about being a citizen in capitalism; you're talking about what rights are granted to what identities, under what laws, and all that is a big mix.

I don't go to my girlfriend's house and say, 'Hey, I'm your big friend, let's talk about big things.'

Let's just throw them into the mix and stop talking about it.'

It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that a billion women have been raped or beaten, just the enormity of that.

A billion is too big because one is too big.

So I think I'm a little bit more chill about that.
