Taking care of children has nothing to do with politics. I think perhaps with time, instead of there being a politicisation of humanitarian aid, there will be a humanisation of politics.
And I always heard people in New York never get to know their neighbors.
The more there is, the less I want. The more man flies to the moon, the more I want to look at a tree.
Thursday? Oh no, it can't be! It's too gruesome.
A child is a child in any country, whatever the politics. Let's get down to basics. That's what a child forces you to do. Nothing else much matters, there is no complicated diplomacy, when a child is starving. It's simple. And we'd better do something about it. For our sakes, too. That is, if we want to continue to call ourselves human.
As a child, I was taught that it was bad manners to bring attention to yourself, and to never, ever make a spectacle of yourself...all of which I've earned a living doing.
I tried always to do better: saw always a little further. I tried to stretch myself.
I will not rest until no child goes hungry. All is possible.
Who thinks you're as fantastic as your dog does?
And...I think that's what life is all about, actually, about children and flowers.
People in these places don't know Audrey Hepburn, but they recognise the name UNICEF. When they see UNICEF their faces light up, because they know that something is happening. In the Sudan, for example, they call a water pump UNICEF.
To be happy - that's all that matters.
I have a long-lasting gratitude and trust for what UNICEF does.
Have we forgotten about the children, and thus forsaken the next generation?
