We all have an obligation as citizens of this earth to leave the world a healthier, cleaner, and better place for our children and future generations.
I feel that its our children who do give us hope because they are the ones who are going to save the world.
I was raised in a time where children were still seen and not heard basically, so I think a lot of us in my generation went the other way and just tried to be as much more liberal and open and we're still paying for it.
I can't always pick and choose, but I try very hard to take the roles where they are a bit more human. Sometimes there's a hilarious thing that comes along and it might not be the most interesting character, but I'm just delighted to be able to do something.

Maybe he would have to let her understand this in a different way. That was the feeling she had with him.

God is a fiction invented by people so they do not have to face the reality of their condition.
