"I just feel that there are always pacifist solutions, and I think that the leaders know the exit to the conflict, it`s just that sometimes they don`t want to use them. They just want to continue playing their little game of power. And I feel that us people have the responsibility and also the obligation to demand to our leaders to give us the pacifist solutions. To give us a world in peace."

If you`re feeling good and you`ve accomplished something, you can back your philosophies to the hilt. And I don`t know what happened, but I decided I`m not going to glorify this thing. I wasn`t going to glorify war . . . I was a schmuck, because if I did "Patton" half as good as Mr. Scott (George C. Scott), I might have walked into The Godfather (1972). So that was a big mistake.
