I didn't want to be a victim of my own message [in trust film]. i didn't want to take advantage of a 14-year-old actor. i didn't want there to be any nudity, or any real overt violence. i think it's more terrifying that there is no violence, in that moment. there's control and there's power, but there's no violence.

More From David Schwimmer

Being a victim doesn't take much. there are built-in excuses for failure. built-in excuses for being miserable. built-in excuses for being angry all the time. no reason to trying to be happy; it's not possible. you're a victim. victim of what? well, you're a victim of derision. well, you're a victim of america. you're a victim of america's past, or you're a victim of religion. you're a victim of bigotry, of homophobia, whatever. you're a victim of something. the democrats got one for you. if you want to be a victim, call 'em up.

The message of the united states is not nuclear power. the message of the united states is a spiritual message. it is the message of human ideals; it is the message of human dignity; it is the message of the freedom of ideas, speech, press, the right to assemble, to worship, and the message of freedom of movement of people.
Spiritual Wisdom Ideas
We must realize that violence is not confined to physical violence. fear is violence, caste discrimination is violence, exploitation of others, however subtle, is violence, segregation is violence, thinking ill of others and condemning others are violence. in order to reduce individual acts of physical violence, we must work to eliminate violence at all levels, mental, verbal, personal, and social, including violence to animals, plants, and all other forms of life.

When you're a victim, you automatically have a built-in excuse for failure. when you are a victim, it's always somebody else's fault. when you're a victim, success is not possible. when you are a victim of something, you are acknowledging that you are as far as you're gonna get, and you can't get any further, because there are more powerful forces arrayed against you than the force of yourself against it.

This is a devastating problem, is, the longer our children are in school, the worse they do. year after year after year, our children in america are falling further behind. our 3- and 4-year-olds enter kindergarten ok, and they fall further and further behind. each year, children in other countries are learning more than children in this country. and so the gap between american student performance in singapore and finland and south korea and canada and these other countries, the gap widens year after year after year.

The press is so powerful in its image-making role, it can make the criminal look like he's a the victim and make the victim look like he's the criminal. this is the press, an irresponsible press. it will make the criminal look like he's the victim and make the victim look like he's the criminal. if you aren't careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.
