I think birth and motherhood are not things that you’re trained to do. You might have a good example in your own mum, but nobody teaches you how to be a really great mum.
Things don’t just happen in this world of arising and passing away. We don’t live in some kind of crazy, accidental universe. Things happen according to certain laws, laws of nature. Laws such as the law of karma, which teaches us that as a certain seed gets planted, so will that fruit be.
Astronomy teaches the correct use of the sun and the planets.
I think that’s one of the things that sport teaches you. You are only as good as the team around you.

I’ll tell you what 20 years teaches you – is that if one thing doesn’t last something else will come down the pipe and to go from that and to do these films now.
Writing teaches writing.
When you are in local government, you are on the ground, and you are looking into the eyes and hearts of the people you are there to serve. It teaches you to listen; it teaches you to be expansive in the people with whom you talk to, and I think that that engagement gives you political judgment.

You can’t say history teaches us this or that; it gives us more questions than answers, and many answers to every question.

History shows that attacks on general freedoms often begin with an attack on the freedom of a minority. It teaches us that we should never allow a government to divide and rule. An attack on one is an attack on all.
The Way teaches that people outside the cult are evil – of the Devil. In line with that belief, the members tried to alienate me from my family, to whom I am very close, and from my friends. So I just drifted away. In seeing my three-month involvement as ‘just a phase,’ my parents were lucky rather than wise.
You know sit with your arm around a little kid and read. It not only teaches them to read but it keeps the family strong.
