Quote

I grew up in Saudi Arabia and India and Cyprus, and I lived in a war-zone myself, and, I mean, I had a pretty bizarre, I guess, nomadic childhood, and so I was really drawn to international relations and political science.

A lot of what is most beautiful about the world arises from struggle.

I find myself more at peace when I live in Europe.

I'm at a point in my life where I have something solid now. I'm a peaceful person, and I want to be surrounded by peace no matter what I'm doing.

I'm trying to create the world around myself to be a place of as much equality and openheartedness as possible.

I don't think I'm yet peaceful because I have to struggle every day within myself when I see the suffering of the people of the world, the women and the children. And fury sets in. But I have to transform that and take it out and do something positive with it - but I have to do that sometimes minute to minute.

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