I have two passions in my life. One is to raise the awareness of the internment of Japanese-American citizens. My other passion is the theater.

The only thing worse than human ignorance is human pride in that ignorance.

Facebook itself has an interest in having great content so that its users keep coming back.

It’s really hard to hate someone for being different when you’re too busy laughing together.

STAR TREK is a show that had a vision about a future that was positive.

As the old saying goes, I was simply looking for fan love, in Alderaan places.

You know, I grew up in two American internment camps, and at that time I was very young.

This is supposed to be a participatory democracy and if we’re not in there participating then the people that will manipulate and exploit the system will step in there.

I spent my boyhood behind the barbed wire fences of American internment camps and that part of my life is something that I wanted to share with more people.

Cat’s are unpredictable. It is a fine line between the cure, inquisitive and innocent creature resting on our lap and the hissing, spitting and deranged banshee it might become at any moment. This is why we’re trying always to win their love.

In my opinion, the biggest achievement was by Shankar-Jaikishan. With Raj Kapoor’s ‘Barsaat,’ they changed the way we looked at playback singing.

I never want to feel like I’ve achieved my goal. It’s like Chinese farmers. They never admit that it’s a good season. They feel like they’ll be punished.

If you’ve made up your mind you can do something, you’re absolutely RIGHT.

They have a sign at the beach, “no glass bottles”. I think that’s so the other sand particles don’t feel like underachievers.

The story of Pakistan, its struggle and its achievement, is the very story of great human ideals, struggling to survive in the face of great odds and difficulties.

One of the regrettable things in my life is that my dad was not around to see my stardom, to see me wrestle or to see what I achieved by the dream I had at an early age, influenced by where he would like to go.

Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so.
