More From Colin Farrell

Every week a tsunami rips through poor towns and villages all over the world ... that tsunami is hunger.

I don't care who i have to fight! if he rips my arms out, i'll kick him to death! if he rips my legs off, i'll bite him to death! if he rips my head off, i'll stare him to death! and if he gouges out my eyes, i'll curse him from the grave! even if i'm torn to shreds, i'm taking sasuke back from orochimaru!

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.

We're a young species; we're only 175,000 years old. on the evolutionary scale, life on this planet is 4 billion years old. we're 175,000 years old. so we're trying something out. who wouldn't think it would be better to have the most stuff to take as much as you could? as we do that, we see why the moral prophets come along and say, don't even store into barns, right? it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. we've seen we plunder nature. we plunder our neighbor. we create enemies because we're against each other.

Generations of women have sacrificed their lives to become their mothers. but we do not have that luxury any more. the world has changed too much to let us have the lives our mothers had. and we can no longer afford the guilt we feel at not being our mothers. we cannot afford any guilt that pulls us back to the past. we have to grow up, whether we want to or not. we have to stop blaming men and mothers and seize every second of our lives with passion. we can no longer afford to waste our creativity. we cannot afford spiritual laziness.

When you live in a poor neighborhood, you are living in an area where you have poor schools. when you have poor schools, you have poor teachers. when you have poor teachers, you get a poor education. when you get a poor education, you can only work in a poor-paying job. and that poor-paying job enables you to live again in a poor neighborhood. so, it's a very vicious cycle.

My dad took me to a high school basketball game and this very, very famous coach in michigan, by the name of lofton greene - he was a guy that my dad was familiar with. he was from our hometown. and i watched the game and i said i didn't see this guy doing a lot of coaching. and my dad told me, well, it's just like a teacher - which he was - he said if you do a good job teaching during the week, when they take the test on friday, that's not the time you have to do a lot of demonstrative things.

I like happy things, i'm really calm and peaceful. i like birds, bees, i like people. i like funny things that make me happy and gleeful... like when my teacher sucked my wee-wee in pre-school!
