MEMORABLE QUOTES
"That every guy gives respect to other men for whatever role that they play. I think when that happens when we have reverence for ourselves and each other, then we'll be able to have far easier reverence for the feminine and for the planet and for animals and for the environment and for all the things that we're not quite there yet with."
