I met his wife...

I saw an uncle again.

I met these incredible people.

And I met them in the early '90s.

And after the war, I saw an uncle again.

When I meet you, in that moment,

Our friend Dr. Winkel said you had called.

I ran into some people I know.

You met some tonight. The others went to a show.

I met some surprising, very complex people.

It's been a really long time since I've been out with other people like this.

If I'd been watching my step, I never would have met him.

I met this man at the meat counter.

I met so many young people who seemed to have lost hope.

I met this man on the stairs and let him in.

We met in the mink department at Bergdorf's.

Are they the same Macabees that you met in 1940?

When I meet you, in that moment, I'm no longer a part of your future.

And around that time, I met John Gardner, who is a remarkable man.

Met at a dance at the USO and all that but, I mean, I took it serious.

I met with one of the development agencies, and they were training prosecutors and judges, which is the normal bias, as opposed to defenders.

Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, (Laughter) but here's my number, so call me

And then I came across a team at Harvard University that had taken one such advanced medical technology and finally applied it, instead of in brain research, towards diagnosing brain disorders in children.

I met the late rajah exactly once, at the age of seven... before my parents sent me to England for my education.

I met this guy who runs a conservation site at a party, and he said, You know, I wasn't making any money.

I met with one of the development agencies, and they were training prosecutors and judges, which is the normal bias, as opposed to defenders.

I met people that live seven people to a room, barely can afford their evening meal, yet lived with this strength of spirit and sense of humor and just incredible qualities.

And then I met some who were angry, and anger that can turn to violence, and we're all familiar with that.

So it wasn't surprising to me that as I was traveling around the world I met so many young people who seemed to have lost hope.

And so I went to each of those countries at least six times, met with the head of state probably two or three times.

I met a band of homeless children who'd come to Jakarta from the countryside, and ended up living in a train station.

I've met women and men all over this planet, who through various circumstances war, poverty, racism, multiple forms of violence have never known security, or have had their illusion of security forever devastated.

I met this woman, Mama Rose, who has rented that little tin shack for 32 years, where she lives with her seven children.

And so when I met with three children from the schools, who had traveled all day to come to Bogota, one of the three children brought her mother.

I met people that live seven people to a room, barely can afford their evening meal, yet live with this strength of spirit and sense of humor and just incredible qualities.

And so right afterwards, I met backstage with Al, and with Lawrence Bender, who was there, and Laurie David, and Davis Guggenheim, who was running documentaries for Participant at the time.

What that means is if you met somebody, and you were told, Oh his father is six feet tall, how much would you know about his height?

And, once again, I got an extraordinary education, and it was the first time, really, that I'd met a lot of these people in the different countries, and these human rights stories became very physical, and, again, I couldn't really walk away quite so comfortably.

I've met a lot of different people over the years, and I've filmed some of them, from a dotcom executive in New York who wanted to take over the world, to a military press officer in Qatar, who would rather not take over the world.

And when I went there and sat there, and met these people that were in the center of it and sat with these characters, I met some surprising, very complex people.

And then I came across a team at Harvard University that had taken one such advanced medical technology and finally applied it, instead of in brain research, towards diagnosing brain disorders in children.

In 2002 I met this incredible entrepreneur named Amitabha Sadangi from India, who'd been working for 20 years with some of the poorest farmers on the planet.

And so right afterwards, I met backstage with Al, and with Lawrence Bender, who was there, and Laurie David, and Davis Guggenheim, who was running documentaries for Participant at the time.

I had this encounter recently where I met the extraordinary American poet Ruth Stone, who's now in her 90s, but she's been a poet her entire life and she told me that when she was growing up in rural Virginia, she would be out working in the fields, and she said she would feel and hear a poem coming at her from over the landscape.

I've met women and men all over this planet, who through various circumstances war, poverty, racism, multiple forms of violence have never known security, or have had their illusion of security forever devastated.
