A Quote by Kevin Barry

And humans want to take sides. That is why the situation gets worse and worse. Are there people who are still available to both sides? They need not do much.

This is our chance for peace. But how many of us are able to do that?

I've never been in the position where that conversation is a serious conversation before the movie even comes out. On one side of it, that's so great because you've got such great potential.
