I love to think that animals and humans and plants and fishes and trees and stars and the moon are all connected.

If you've never had a mother or a father, you grow up seeking something you're never going to find, ever. You seek it in love and in people and in beauty.

I'm in love with beauty and things and people and love and being in love, and those things, I think, on the inside, show on the outside.

Marriage can be work, it can be difficult, it can be hard, but I think working through those times makes you stronger as a couple and as a unit.

Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience.
