Spurring ourselves on to become better human beings we develop true regard for ourselves and our life will become sacred.

We're unlikely to have that kind of picture about someone coming from Syria.

Above all they have always shown great respect for the fans who made these movies such a success. Now it's time that some of that respect be returned to them.
