May God forgive us for the times when we as individuals and as a Church failed to seek out and care for those little ones who were frightened, alone and in pain because someone was abusing them.

I’ve two failed marriages in the past.

After my second marriage failed… I said, ‘You know, could I have a relationship with a man? A loving relationship with a man that would involve intimacy?’ For a while, before I did get into a relationship, I saw, for a few years, either women or men. And I found that I could be attracted to both.

In ‘The Big Chill,’ those characters are in middle age, thinking, ‘Oh, God, I’ve turned into my parents. I’ve failed.’ And in ‘Beside Still Waters,’ we’re showing the struggles of people who actually want to be like their parents and feel they can’t live up to their heights.

‘The world’s wealthiest failed state,’ as it has come to be known, Belgium endured 589 days without a functioning elected government between June 2010 and December 2011 and remains a dysfunctional, linguistically divided waxworks of one federal and five regional-cultural parliaments.
