“The Israeli government has proved over the past year its commitment to peace, both in words and deeds. By contrast, the Palestinians are posing preconditions for renewing the diplomatic process in a way they have not done over the course of 16 years.”

The instability in the region is not a result of Israel and the Palestinians. That was never the cause of this instability. Instead, the disfunctionality of many of these societies that have failed to modernize.

I’m very proud of the fact that Israel is the one country in a very broad radius that – in which Arabs have free and fair elections. That’s sacrosanct. That will never change. I wasn’t trying to suppress a vote.

We want to end this misery of the Palestinian people in order for us really to live with dignity as human beings in an independent state side by side with the Israeli state.

We stand together to advance peace. We stand together to fight terrorism.

The Iranian acquisition of nuclear weapons would be infinitely more costly than any scenario you can imagine to stop it.

The minute Mr. Putin decided to put his military forces in Syria, I went to see him. And I said, “Look, here’s what I’m doing.

They’re in the red zone. They’re in the last 20 yards, and you can’t let them cross that goal line. You can’t let them score a touchdown, because that would have unbelievable consequences, grievous consequences for the peace and security of us all, of the world really.

They deny the rights of women, deny democracy, brutalize their own people, don’t give freedom of religion.

If the Palestinians do their part, we shall do our part and we shall have an agreement.

I unequivocally condemn the striking of the soldier from the Ethiopian community and those responsible will be brought to justice but nobody has the right to take the law into their own hands,

We’ll attack anyone who tries to harm our citizens.

Anyone who is going to establish a Palestinian state, anyone who is going to evacuate territories today, is simply giving a base for attacks to the radical Islam against Israel.

I will say that I think Israel enjoys strong bipartisan support in the United States. It’s really above and beyond American politics.

I want to tell you that Israel is a democracy and every citizen is automatically registered to vote. There’s a commitment in our declaration of independence, guaranteed under Israel’s law, that all our citizens, Arab and Jews, alike, have the right to vote.

I cannot agree that a terrorist can ever be an idealist, or that the objects sought can ever justify terrorism. The impact of terrorism, not merely on individual nations, but on humanity as a whole, is intrinsically evil, necessarily evil and wholly evil.

Our friendship will weather the current disagreement as well, to grow even stronger in the future.

Normally, you have all this knowledge from all the films that you’ve done that you’ve accumulated over the years

I don’t know if there was really ever a golden age of the music business.

There are no two hours alike. Every hour is unique and the only one given at the moment, exclusive and endlessly precious.

I’ve had the best of the years, and I don’t want a single year back.

We can cry for years but sometimes gotta smile too.

Sure, we had to be skinny. I lived on Diet Coke and apples for two years. For the couture, we had to get up at 4 am to be sewn into the clothes and there was huge pressure to be thin.

Retiring is a strange word. I’m 27 years old. I’ve still got stuff to do.

Years hence, perhaps, may dawn an age, More fortunate, alas! than we, Which without hardness will be sage, And gay without frivolity.
