Who is bianca jagger

It was a turning-point in my life. It was a privilege to be there and to be able to understand so much — to be there when people were about to be killed and our presence, because we were foreigners, [saved their lives] — that was an important lesson in my life. I read that even in the Sixties in Managua you took part in demonstrations against the massacres of students carried out by the National Guard. Are you a courageous person — or is it that you just get very angry about things and the anger takes over?

No, I am a very calm person, I am not a hothead. But I believe that individuals can make a difference and I believe that we have to stand up for our principles. I have believed that all my life. In fact, the realisation of the danger that I face, and the fear, I feel not so much at the time but afterwards, when I look back. And in Honduras we had no time for reflection. Also, I must tell you, I have always believed I have a guardian angel that protects me.

You know, why we were not killed…. Your first involvement in humanitarian work was not in or but in , when Managua was struck by an earthquake and you persuaded the Rolling Stones to do a benefit concert. Was that also a formative time?

I have to believe that it is possible to avert catastrophe, but unless we are prepared to make profound, revolutionary changes in our lives, the human race will not survive. Of course. I was very young and I witnessed the misery and abject poverty in which the people of Nicaragua lived — and the fact that the Somoza regime appropriated the money they received as aid from the US and other countries.

It gave me a different perspective. You know, it is one thing to know about a situation intellectually, it is another thing to really see it. Maybe I would have done, you know, what celebrities do….

But you have lived in the US and you have had a lot to do with that country. It is hard to imagine how it seems to someone like you, given that it sponsored so much terror and oppression in Central America.

Of course I think about it. When I spoke out against the invasion of Iraq and I said that you cannot impose democracy at gunpoint, I was referring to many things I saw in Latin America, atrocities committed in the name of democracy.

Of course, one has to make a distinction between the people and the government and remember that a lot of Americans opposed the Contra war in Nicaragua and were outspoken against it. On the other hand, we are all responsible for the governments that we elect…. Do you believe there are fundamental human rights that exist whether we recognise them or not and one day maybe the whole world will wake up to them, or do you think that actually — perhaps with good reason — we are trying to impose on the rest of humankind what are essentially Judeo-Christian or humanist values?

I do believe there are fundamental rights that transcend nationalities, that transcend borders, that transcend colours, that transcend religions. Yes, we are all at risk of looking at the world through our own prism that tints the way we see it. Do I believe in the sanctity of life? Do I believe that some Judeo-Christians interpret differently what is in the Bible? Therefore, we have to think always about the room for interpretation, even of the sacred documents we believe in.

Do I believe that men and women are created equal? Yes, I do. Hide Show Actress 9 credits. II: Bud the Chud Velma. Maya Kumara. Francesca Delgado.

The rainforests we have destroyed, and the irreplaceable biodiversity we lost.

What is your guiltiest pleasure? To whom would you most like to say sorry, and why? To my daughter, because she felt that I spent too much time saving other children. I would go to war zones and travel the world for human rights work, and she was missing me. Which living person do you most despise, and why? There are a few dictators and war criminals on my list.

Who would you invite to your dream dinner party? Which words or phrases do you most overuse? I use it, and I really feel it — but it happens too often. Type keyword s to search. Today's Top Stories.
