"Non-violence means dialogue, using our language, the human language. Dialogue means compromise; respecting each otherâ€™s rights; in the spirit of reconciliation there is a real solution to conflict and disagreement. There is no hundred percent winner, no hundred percent loserâ€”not that way but half-and-half. That is the practical way, the only way."

-- Dalai Lama

“I read a lot. I especially read memoirs and biographies. It's very helpful when you're thinking about what's possible and what exists in human behavior; if it exists out there then it can exist on the stage. I really try to go to a lot of concerts. A lot of live events. I just try to keep my ears really, really open.”
