But I don't feel like I did the right thing, either.

• If the government is vulnerable to public opinion, then famines are a dreadfully bad thing to have.

I don't understand how a performance like that can't win. I was so affected by that movie that I had to turn it off. I felt as if I was on drugs and my heart was about to leap out of my body.
