Can I actually make a difference? Can I get people to believe in politics once again? Can I get people to accept more complex answers to complex questions? I know I can. I know that's what I do very well.

I believe each individual can have a say and make a difference.

I'm just glad I can make a difference in someone's life.

I could make a difference.

Oh, it makes a difference, I thought. And if it doesn't make a difference you will make it make a difference.

I believe in work. If somebody doesn't create something, however small it may be, he gets sick. An awful lot of people feel that they're treading water -- that if they vanished in smoke, it wouldn't mean anything at all in this world. And that's a despairing and destructive feeling. It'll kill you.
