It's
angering that not everybody has signed this treaty to ban landmines. It's disgusting,
it really is, because it is fact that (mines) hurt a high percentage of civilians.
They're not effective in any other real way. They've enough weapons for war.
"The
most upsetting thing is that the US is a leader in the world, and if they don't
sign, then how do you expect to convince Russian and China and Iran, Pakistan,
all these other countries, to sign? They simply won't. (The US government) feels
it's against their constitutional right to bear arms, or they've said that it's
needed in North and South Korea, on the border. I don't think any of these are
good enough excuses for the damage."
"I
wish I could do more but I think I'm most useful probably in just spreading awareness.
You know, just talking to people who maybe would enjoy a film and would otherwise
not care about things in the world.
"Love
one person, take care of them until you die. You know, raise kids. Have a good
life. Be a good friend. And try to be completely who you are. And figure out what
you personally love. And like go after it with everything you've got no matter
how much it takes."
We
cannot close ourselves off to information and ignore the fact that millions of
people are out there suffering. I honestly want to help. I don't believe I feel
differently from other people. I think we all want justice and equality, a chance
for a life with meaning. All of us would like to believe that if we were in a
bad situation someone would help us.
“Over
20 million children of conflict are out of school. Education is often forgotten.”
