New startups embody the creativity, the innovation of young people, and for me, it was and is a very worthwhile experience to interact with them.

I have been constantly telling people to encourage people, to question the unquestioned and not to be ashamed to bring up new ideas, new processes to get things done.

People still believe what they read is necessarily the truth.

When you see in places like Africa and parts of Asia abject poverty, hungry children and malnutrition around you, and you look at yourself as being people who have well being and comforts, I think it takes a very insensitive, tough person not to feel they need to do something.

Sport is something that is very inspirational for young people.

In The Lime Twig I took two very young people and made them very old.
