On activism
“I don’t think you have the right to point at somebody and say, “you’ve got to change” if you don’t change yourself.”
On the impact of Covid-19
“I’m not hopeful that some of the politicians, the world leaders are going to change. It will need the community to rise right now, and I think the ground now is really ripe for that because what this lockdown has made us suddenly rediscover, almost like this interconnection that we have, this sense of community. It almost taught us, reminded us, that we are citizens.”
On change
“We have to act locally before we dare think globally.”
On the climate crisis
“If people think that we can resolve the climate crisis without the conservation of natural resources, they just have their head in the clouds. They don’t understand or they listen to the wrong people. So, conservation, pandemic, climate change, is all like this.”
