But again within 30 years, people went on saying there's an ancient culture in Korea that has been pro-education, which is true.

And blackmail usually works better when the practitioners are seen as irrational and unpredictable.

And I've never felt so in love with the human form as when I'm walking around and seeing all those bodies, thinking, Oh my god, we're all just built so differently. And every single body is beautiful. I will never understand that shame, and the reinforcement of that shame. It's crazy.
