Everything starts with one step, or one brick, or one word or one day

World Peace Day is envisioned to become a moment of global unity - it is up to each and every one of us to make this a reality.

When I was younger, I read a book by Frank Barnaby, this wonderful nuclear physicist. He said that media had a responsibility, that all sectors of society had a responsibility to try and move things forward. And that fascinated me... I'd been messing around with a camera most of my life...

When it comes to the fundamental issues that humanity faces, I think that solutions involve shifting consciousness towards cooperation.

Together we can decrease the level of violence, raise awareness of our activities and save lives around the world. The impact of a day of global ceasefire and non-violence cannot be underestimated.

We need to support the governments of the world to create the world we want and I also think we need to empower the UN so that the secretariat, the people who work day in and day out, know that the people are behind them.

I always thought I was really thick.

We all want a world without war, without conflict, without human suffering.

I think there's a number of pillars to success. One is you've got to have a great idea. The other is you've got to have a constituency, you've got to have finance, and you've got to be able to raise awareness.

We're in this together, and if we united and we inter-culturally cooperated, then that might be the key to humanity's survival.
