“I think the elections have gone well, although there is so much insecurity in Iraq. So far during the counting of ballots.”

Im not satisfied with the progress of the work, but I am happy that the talks are going on. It might have a negative effect if the United States joins.

When I talk about the assets, that was at the beginning of the talks.

Condi Rice talks tough but she cannot be tough herself.

Things like unemployment, which the youth are suffering from, and the rate of inflation – these are chronic conditions and we have to solve them.

We do not trust the goodwill of the U.S. They have cut the ties.

I believe the main solution is to gain the trust of Europe and America and to remove their concerns over the peaceful nature of our nuclear industry and to assure them that there will never be a diversion to military use.

We don’t have any bad memories of the people of the United States.

Each department and institution has its own authorities and responsibilities, and they act on that basis.

Iran is determined to use peaceful nuclear technology and no intimidation or threat can make us give it up.

If (the West) shows its rigidity by making unjust decisions and putting their threats into practice, the Iranian people will not be the only ones to pay the price.

We have no problems with Jews and highly respect Judaism as a holy religion.

We want all the Palestinians back in their homeland, and then there can be a fair referendum for people to choose the form of state they want. Whoever gets the majority can rule.

When al-Qaeda was on the run from Afghanistan crossing through Iran, some were arrested and they are imprisoned. Some of them are charged with some actions in Iran.

I only know that the sole option is to leave Iraq to the Iraqi people.

There has not been a significant complaint. We have to wait to see what the outcome of the counting is.

It was the will of the Iraqi people and the religious authorities. [The elections] were the result of pressure by Ayatollah Sistani, by the Iraqi religious authorities, and by the fighting forces in Iraq on America. They left the US no choice but to allow the elections.

Slow down you’re doing fine You can’t be everything you want to be Before your time Although it’s so romantic on the borderline tonight Too bad but it’s the life you lead

It’s spiritual – a good feeling. And although you don’t know them personally, the audience are like your friends.

I was lucky, you know, I always had a beautiful girl and the money was good. Although I would have done the whole thing over for, oh, perhaps half.

That’s sort of why I got into acting. I realized the more fun I had, the better I did it. And I thought, that’s a job I could be proud of. It’s changed my life learning that, and it’s made me better at what I do.

I am not really much interested in talking to adults, although I suppose practically every mother in the kingdom knows my name and my books. It’s their children I love.

I have never been much of a follower although I like to learn.

Although I was raised with love, I was always lonely.

Gerard and I pretty much share all parenting responsibilities, although I’m definitely the disciplinarian.
