In politics, you are transparent.
Every move is analysed.
It's like having a mirror which can speak and take pictures..
with a normal person, you come home
and the mirror is silent.
It can see your hair-do, your face, your eyes,
but it won't tell anybody.
In politics, the mirror is speaking and following you day and night.
On Friday 13th of October, 1995
and it was Friday 13th, as it happened -
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.
It came as a complete shock. A complete surprise.
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.
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.
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:
We don't use television. I hate television. I think it takes away our minds.
Some companies repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat the message, but we just have one image, my image, and people remember it.
The Doctor:
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.
It's not that that makes the thing.
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.
It's something that goes on between your head, your heart and your balls. That's all I know.
It's... an electrical contact.
The Politician:
People say I'm not an expert of anything.
But there is one thing they don't understand: I know what a human being is.
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.
You really must handle with care. Care for what a person can do, and care for how easily he can be destroyed.
If I contributed something, it is this: Handle with care.
