I've never done anything else in my life other than preach and be an activist. Way before I was known.
Trees have roots, Jews have legs.
I do not think that a man's rise to power is necessarily the climax of his life or that his loss of office should be equated with his fall.
A man once jumped from the top floor of a burning house in which many members of his family had already perished. He managed to save his life; but as he was falling he hit a person standing down below and broke that person's legs and arms. The jumping man had no choice; yet to the man with the broken limbs he was the cause of his misfortune. If both behaved rationally, they would not become enemies.
Once I got over the fear of writing female characters, it actually came quite easily and I was really happy with it. I just thought about girls I knew really, really well and I'd just have conversations with them and tried to relay how they talk about certain things.
The most ethical way to deal with an unethical situation would be to simply say: 'We did something wrong. ' But nobody in a family like mine would ever respond like this.
Id just like to prove to myself that Im all here and all together and can get the best out of myself. Id also like to prove that to a couple of other people.
To refuse to respond is in itself a response.
