Quotes When I was 10 years old living in Ethiopia, we had a black movie market because television there was so bad,People used to just exchange videotapes, and one of the videotapes that came to our house was Becket, the movie with Peter O’Toole and Richard Burton...I was obsessed with that film. It was a movie set in medieval times, a 10-year-old shouldn’t be interested in it, but I was obsessed. The concept of generosity through what you do and who you are has taken on a whole new meaning for me. It changes why you’re doing this, why you’re doing things. That is a theme that existed throughout this tour, going to these venues. Till you’ve said, “To be or not to be” staring at the eyes of a guy in Riker’s who’s not going to see freedom ever again —or might be being shipped to some high security prison in Alabama the next day, which was the case with one of the prisoners—till you’ve said, “Should I end it now?” to someone who is probably going to be asking that question of themselves on a daily basis for the rest of their life, you haven’t done that speech. Whatever it is you saw last night when you came I hope is a continuance, an amalgam, of those experiences, of people that really need these stories. External link category: living people
