Believes that: Democracy should signify more than simply the right to vote for leaders who then proceed to do whatever they choose regardless of the opinion of the people,
empathy is the most worthwhile skill human beings can possible acquire, and the most interesting thing about life is that you can never know everything.

Often says: - “Evidence should be the means by which we ascertain the truth.”

- “As it’s impossible to know what would have been, it’s impossible to know that it would have been better.”
