I also saw the Dalai Lama a few times.

You don't have to be the Dalai Lama to tell people that life's about change.

If some people have the belief or view that the Dalai Lama has some miracle power, that's totally nonsense. I am just one human being.

The Dalai Lama is just a temporal leader of Tibet.

I asked Dalai Lama the most important question that I think you could ask - if he had ever seen Caddyshack.

I felt we must separate political responsibility. The Dalai Lama should not carry that burden. So that is my selfish reason - to protect the old Dalai Lama tradition. It is safer without political involvement.

If some people have the belief or view that the Dalai Lama has some miracle power, that's totally nonsense.

I certainly haven't lived the life of a Buddhist monk.

When His Holiness won the Nobel Peace Prize, there was a quantum leap. He is not seen as solely a Tibetan anymore; he belongs to the world.
