“I'm trying to tell young people in particular that you live in a culture that does not want you to be in love with someone. They demean love. They demean the aspect of it.
They think of it sentimental and old-fashioned. The concept of love that I'm bringing out right now.
And I want to tell you that the act of loving a person and letting go of all your defenses is a form of rebellion against the ugliness in this world.
You're you're doing something different.
You're rebelling against all the narcissism and all the defensiveness and all the closed off elements in our culture and you're saying fuck- you to that culture.”
