But if we had no divine instruction on the subject, our own interest would demand of us a strict observance of the principle of these injunctions. . . .

• To touch on people's lives [ in a way they ] haven't been touched on before, it´s fascianting.

But you can never get real purity if people have been spoiled by the camera and don't trust you. I like feeling that I'm able to be a voice for those people who aren't famous, the people that don't have the great opportunities.
