I believe in the right to life.

Everybody certainly has the right to defend themselves. That's not to say that they should defy common sense by avoiding or diffusing confrontation. And that's very, very important.

I defend peoples' right to do that in a lawful manner, but I have not undertaken that practice myself.

I'm not a person who defends myself very often. I kind of let my actions speak for me.

I do protect human rights, and I hope I shall always be looked up as a champion of human rights.

I defend Israel's right to exist, to defend themselves, to not let themselves be exterminated a second time.

I never had any desire to defend myself, and never did I seriously think about it.

I'm so lucky to have been raised the way I have, because my parents believed that everyone had the right to their own feelings, opinions, and existence; as long as they weren't harming others, you had to defend those rights.

I firmly believe in the rule of law as the foundation for all of our basic rights.

I mean to defend the rights of individuals in a liberal prospect.
