“The world I want is a place where we ask hard questions, where we are sober about that verb 'love' and genuinely ask ourselves out loud, in public, with and in front of others.
How much do we love? How much do we love this planet? How much do we love our kids? How much do we love our neighbors?
It's the hardest question facing us as human beings. And I would love a world in which very publicly, very loudly, we talk about what it means to love.”
