(GASPS)
-
What has fuelled my passion for change really is righteous indignation at injustice.
-
Anybody can be an agent to change.
-
All it really takes is finding what you feel the most passion about.
-
I don't care what it is. It doesn't have to be a thing I care about.
-
But if it is an issue that stirs your passion, and by working on it you can contribute to the greater good - including for those who you do not necessarily like, politically or ideologically -
-
I think that everybody should volunteer a couple of hours a month.
-
I think people think that if they can't tackle all of the world's problems and make it all better overnight, there's no purpose.
-
I totally disbelieve that.
-
I believe that every action really does contribute to change.
-
The power that each and every one of us has to decide whether we want to be participants in creating the world we live in, or we choose - and this is also a choice that we pretend isn't - we CHOOSE to do nothing.
-
People say, "I'm not interested in politics."
-
Every single thing we do is politics.
-
The interaction of human beings is politics writ large.
-
I believe that we have to feel empowered to make that choice.
-
If we choose to feel passion about something and do nothing, you have chosen to do nothing.
-
Believe me, there are other people who will step into that gap, take your power and use it to accomplish what they want.
