Sometimes I sit down to dinner with people and I realize there is a massive military machine surrounding us, trying to kill the people I'm having dinner with.

I feel like I'm witnessing the systematic destruction of a people's ability to survive. It's horrifying.

We should be inspired by people... who show that human beings can be kind, brave, generous, beautiful, strong-even in the most difficult circumstances.

Follow your dreams, believe in yourself and don't give up.
