I consider myself to be a crusader of love. I try to spread love around the world as best I can because I know I have a handle on love.

I think in terms of emotions. And feelings. So sometimes what I say may not always be clear. But creatively, there's a lot to be said for that way of thinking.

I still believe that something is right only when it feels right.

It would be very sad if children had no memories before those of school. What they need most is the love and attention of their mother.
