When I was a young man, I was poor. In a war with other nations, I was in eighty-seven fights. There I received my name and was made Chief of my nation. But now I am old and am for peace.

I was very active in the peace movement, still am.

I was born in 1962, and it seems that throughout my entire life the world has demanded peace but maintained conflict.

Let me give you an idea of Fifties Britain. The war had ended ten years before, and most people had returned to their gardens and allotments hoping life would revert to how it was before the hostilities.

My life has been devoted to peacemaking.

My mother went into the Peace Corps when she was sixty-eight.

You don't have to have fought in a war to love peace.

When I was a kid, I had to fight for everything.

In the course of my lifetime, that world went from violence to a kind of peace.

I had fought for my independence and fought for my freedom to do as I chose.
