“I’m friends with George Bush. In fact, I’m friends with a lot of people who don’t share same beliefs that I have. Just because I don’t agree with someone on everything doesn’t mean that I’m t going to be friends with m. When I say, ‘Be kind to one ar,’ I doesn’t mean only people that think same way that you do. I mean, ‘Be kind to everyone, it doesn’t matter.’”
