“My concern is: How on earth is anything more urgent than the lives of people in North Korean concentration camps?”

“Risking your life is not an easy thing to do.”

“Most North Korean people have never seen a map of the world. They don't even know that the Internet exists. They don't even have electricity.”

“I've been in the songwriting circuit as well. I've been in a couple writing camps where there are seven top writers or whatever, and they're writing songs for a young girl or a young guy that are coming up, and they're kind of nuts.”

“In the concentration camps, we discovered this whole universe where everyone had his place. The killer came to kill, and the victims came to die.”
