When human beings live together, conflict is inevitable. War is not.

So long as nuclear weapons continue to exist, so will the temptation to threaten others with overwhelming military force.

A healthy vision of the future is not possible without an accurate knowledge of the past.

We are not merely passive pawns of historical forces; nor are we victims of the past. We can shape and direct history.

For me, motivation is a person who has the capability to recruit the resources he needs to achieve a goal.

To be honest, my partner Natasha is my inspiration. She is who I reference when searching for my role. I don't emulate what she does, but her interpretation of Giselle is so fragile and sensitive and so tender. It constantly inspires me. And I feel like it's the other way around. We have a great rapport together.

To make any endeavor truly successful, integrity, inspiration, and insight are integral.

My motivation was an idea of being able to improve the conditions of life, to try to find a remedy to many of the problems facing the world. That's what led me into economics. I saw it as a way of helping people.
