“We have no issue with seeking to develop the best terms we can with Iran.”

The Middle East has gone through periods of turmoil before.

Do you want us to lead, or do you want us to play a supporting role?

Let’s not forget: This all began when you had eight- and nine-year-old children writing graffiti on walls.

We support any deal that denies Iran nuclear weapons

What we want is stability and security so we can focus on our own development.

We have capital punishment. America has capital punishment. Iran has capital punishment.

We go after the terrorists and those who support them and those who justify their actions.

You cannot impose your values on us, otherwise the world will become the law of the jungle.

I have tons of regrets, but I think that’s one of the reasons that push people to create things. Out of their angst, their regret, comes the best from artists, painters and writers.

Parents try the best they can. They want the best for you. But a lot of their stuff is just their own. If you can pull yourself away from it and not always feel like they’re attacking you, then it’s easier to deal with.

The best ideas come as jokes. Make your thinking as funny as possible.

Not to be born surpasses all reckoning. The next best thing by far, when one has been born is to go back as swiftly as possible whence one came.

There is no such thing as a natural puncher. There is a natural aptitude for punching and that is different. Nobody is born the best. You have to practice and train to become the best.

No man is happy; he is at best fortunate.

Once I get onstage the tension explodes and I’m fine. I’m in another world – in a trance almost, doing what I love best, expressing myself through guitar.
