QUOTES

"There is no greater legacy that we can leave our children and grandchildren than a peaceful and safer world."

"I love my country very much. But I must say I love people all over the world, and we better all start loving each other or we're going to blow each other to kingdom come."

"We must go through a natural revolution if we are to survive on earth. We need to change people's perceptions. If there's no environment, there's no human race. We are in a state of global denial."

The media is too concentrated, too few people own too much. There's really five companies that control 90 percent of what we read, see and hear. It's not healthy.

We have to do more than keep media giants from growing larger; they're already too big. We need a new set of rules that will break these huge companies to pieces.

There is no greater joy than giving to worthy causes.
