  • Not Synced
    In politics, you are transparent.
  • Not Synced
    Every move is analysed.
  • Not Synced
    It's like having a mirror which can speak
    and take pictures..
  • Not Synced
    with a normal person, you come home
  • Not Synced
    and the mirror is silent.
  • Not Synced
    It can see your hair-do, your face, your eyes,
  • Not Synced

    but it won't tell anybody.
  • Not Synced
    In politics, the mirror is speaking and
    following you day and night.
  • Not Synced
    On Friday 13th of October, 1995
  • Not Synced
    and it was Friday 13th, as it happened -
  • Not Synced
    I had a telephone call, about 10 o'clock from Oslo, and this Secretary of the Committee told me I'd been awarded the Nobel Prize.
  • Not Synced
    It came as a complete shock. A complete surprise.
  • Not Synced
    And they told me that in an hour's time, at 11 o'clock, which is 12 o'clock in Oslo, they'd announce it publicly.
  • Not Synced
    That gave me a little bit of time to think about it. To cogitate. And I thought: my life is already full. I have so many commitments already. I couldn't allow the Nobel Prize to affect it in any way. That was the decision I took.
  • Not Synced
    In 2 hours I realised the decision was quite impossible, it did change my life, the whole media came in, hundreds of people came here, and ever since Ive never had any peace. Its the Nobel Prize for peace, but no peace for me!

    The Artist:
  • Not Synced
    We don't use television. I hate television. I think it takes away our minds.
  • Not Synced
    Some companies repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat the message, but we just have one image, my image, and people remember it.
  • Not Synced
    The Doctor:
  • Not Synced
    I've come to believe that life, the human species, is the only measure of value.
    And that whatever can be done to eliminate the misery that besets the vast majority of human beings, whatever can be done to improve the lot of mankind, is good and should be done.
    Because that's all there is.
  • Not Synced
    It's not that that makes the thing.
  • Not Synced
    What does make the thing? That's what I'm looking for. I'm looking for that all the time. That's what it's about. Everything.
  • Not Synced
    It's something that goes on between your head, your heart and your balls. That's all I know.
  • Not Synced
    It's... an electrical contact.
  • Not Synced
    The Politician:
  • Not Synced
    People say I'm not an expert of anything.
  • Not Synced
    But there is one thing they don't understand: I know what a human being is.
  • Not Synced
    And it goes for men, and for women, and for strangers, and for young people. I'm fascinated by human beings.

    I know on one hand how their potential is so great, and yet on the other hand, how they are so fragile.
  • Not Synced
    You really must handle with care. Care for what a person can do, and care for how easily he can be destroyed.
  • Not Synced
    If I contributed something, it is this: Handle with care.
  • Not Synced
    You can extract from him so many nice things. But you can break him in 5 minutes.
