“India, in particular, is looking to develop nuclear power for domestic, commercial use, and we should work with them. This is a good deal for both countries.”

Music is still part of my spiritual life. Sometimes I sing my prayers. When I get audiences singing, I hope I’m helping them feel connected to something beyond themselves.

We need a doer, not a talker.

I always wanted to do a baseball book; I love baseball. The problem is that a very large part of my following is in non-baseball playing countries.

I want to create a culture of life where every innocent human life is welcome to the world. I know those are difficult cases, but I am prolife. And I understand we’ve got to go through the Supreme Court.

My parents are proud of their Indian heritage, but they came halfway across the world so their children could be born here, raised here as Americans. They came legally, but they came here in search of the American dream, in search of freedom and opportunity.

Who among us would ask our children for a loan, so we could spend money we do not have on things we do not need?

Containment is a strategy for losers! But as General George S. Patton famously observed, Americans play to win all the time. Americans don’t play to lose.

I think we can have religious liberty without discrimination. My views on marriage aren’t evolving with the polls. It’s based on my faith, I think it should remain between a man and a woman.

I’m not worried about where Barack Obama is from. I’m worried about where he’s going.

It’s not controversial to say that human activity is contributing in some way. The question is how serious that is.

I think it’s offensive to equate evangelical Christians, Catholics, others that view marriage as between a man and a woman, as being racist.

The United States didn’t create religious liberty. Religious liberty created the United States of America. It’s the reason we are here today.

I remember when TV networks believed in the First Amendment. It is a messed up situation when Miley Cyrus gets a laugh, and Phil Robertson gets suspended.

On Thanksgiving I will stop to give thanks that my family is safe and healthy, especially because I realize that, following the tragedies of this year, it is all too real a possibility that they might not have been.

In the aftermath of September 11th, it is critical to secure our borders.

I am tired with hyphenated Americans! We are not Indian-Americans, or African-Americans.

The idea that China and India will just abandon climate action is not true, because they’re doing it for more reasons than we are.

I enjoy the TV series ‘Dexter,’ where there’s a reason for every kill. Quentin Tarantino is a favourite, and a ‘Kill Bill’ action-packed movie would be up my street. I’d love to be India’s first scream queen!

So for Europeans we are like Belgiums in the Congo, or the French in Alger, or the British in India. Strange interlopers in somebody else’s land. But in fact, we [Israeli] have been here for 4,000 years. This is our ancestral homeland.

I’m not too interested in books about India.

Western films don’t do very well in India.

Before peace between the nations, we have to find peace inside that small nation which is our own being.

Adani Enterprises is well on track to realize its aim of emerging as India’s largest private sector energy and logistics conglomerate.

I think what is needed in India today is the destruction of that defeatist spirit.
