My whole life has been about connecting things that aren't connected.

For some reason, I grew up generally believing that Japan and Korea were quite friendly. I do know that there is some bad history and the extremists on both sides are unreasonable.

I have had a great deal of interaction with Koreans and feel a fairly strong bond with Korea.

If we destroy human rights and rule of law in response to terrorism, they have won.

Internet penetration in Italy is quite low and the Berlusconi media machine controls most of what people see.

Education is what people do to you. Learning is what you do to yourself. Focus on being connected, always learning, fully aware and super present.

Liberty, freedom and democracy are very fuzzy words, but human rights is very specific.

Apprehension, uncertainty, waiting, expectation, fear of surprise, do a patient more harm than any exertion.

Bethlehem and Golgotha, the Manger and the Cross, the birth and the death, must always be seen together.

To many people, dramatic criticism must seem like an attempt to tattoo soap bubbles.

Cities - I'm attracted to them, and I have a special attachment to New York...it's my place.

I'm just saying that there are high quality materials, and when we change them then there should be a way of changing them so that you can celebrate that change - rather than just 'mix it up'.
