We're going to be all right. And I think operating in a mode of fear, and operating from a mode of fear, is not going to get us anywhere, as a people, or me , as a person. So I don't operate from that place. At all."

Asked if he had a message for survivors of the attack, and the people of Manchester at London, he added: "I'm just going to say resilience.It's resilience. Your strength and your courage is an inspiration to me, and to anyone who has ever been affected by a tragedy. And we will always have that. You guys are so strong. And thank you. Thank you for being so strong."
