Like Russia, we have an interest in fighting radicalism and extremism.

Just like we respect your legal system, you [europeans] should respect our legal system.

The longer it takes, the worse it will get.

Show me one Iranian diplomat we killed! I can show you many Saudi diplomats who were killed by Iran.

we will be prepared to participate with special forces.

I’m very grateful for it. But at the same time, it’s not a subculture-y thing anymore; it’s something that’s in the New York Times and the New Yorker.

There comes a point in your life when you realize: Who matters, Who never did, Who won’t anymore, And who always will.

After that movie I said, “Y’know what, I have to realistically wear my emotions now when I do a job. That’s gotta be as real as it gets. It’s not just dialogue anymore.”
