Trying

"I hate the way market forces try to separate us out in to the appropriate demographic - basically in order to sell us things. We need to find stories that we can enjoy together, not separately."

Hate

Work

Work

"It is remarkable how many misconceptions there are here about life in the developing world and I think that that knowledge gap has done a lot to contribute to the imbalance quite frankly."

Life

"Any problem, big or small, within a family, always seems to start with bad communication. Someone isn't listening."
