I hate going out in Brighton now. It's different in London. People respect you more there.

Awe and respect are two different things.

I think somehow men understand other men's need for respect differently than they understand it for a woman. I'm disappointed to have to say that but I think it's undeniably true.

I love making new friends and I respect people for a lot of different reasons.

To be one to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater.

I have quite a few different Bibles. Having rejected my parents' religion I still think the King James Bible is the most important work of literature in English. None of us can help being influenced by it.

Religion is interesting because it brings out the best and the worst in humanity. It can be a source of good deeds whether it's people from different spiritual backgrounds coming together to help other people in need after a crisis. But it's also a cause for war and bloodshed.

The only difference is that religion is much better organised and has been around much longer but it's the same story with different characters and different costumes.

It appears to be in the nature of religion itself to be prejudiced against those who are different.

All the different nations in the world despite their differences of appearance and religion and language and way of life still have one thing in common and that is what's inside of all of us. If we X-rayed the insides of different human beings we wouldn't be able to tell from those X-rays what the person's language or background or race is.
