Not sure how I missed this interview in May. Here are some excerpts; “Look, all of these problems that we’ve been discussing today are, for me, spiritual problems. Because a drought may be a territorial phenomenon, but a famine is a completely different thing - a famine is man-made. A disease may be caused by a bacteria or a virus, but preventable, treatable disease is a political situation. It’s an economic situation. It’s about will.” “Everybody’s story is valuable…We value people like me too much.” (when asked about his wife Ali) “I joined the band the same week as I asked her out. So, that was a good week!” Talk about religion & faith begin at about 43:24 “The scriptures are powerful! When Christ began his mission, he started to talk about...’The blind…will see… I want to visit the sick, the people in prison and serve the poor.’ That’s what it’s about! And if it’s not about that for me, then I’m not in the room.” “The problems of the world are the problems of the human spirit. And the problems of the human spirit are the problems of the human heart. And the hypocrisy of the human heart is what you’re looking at across this table, Charlie Rose, ‘cause I have it. And we all have it. We’re afflicted by it.”
