Saudi Arabia inflames the Sunni-Shiite divide and sets a pernicious example of intolerance by banning churches.

I want to build a Big Labor party. A party of big ideas. A party which is deeply connected to the community. A party which reflects our diverse nation.

Mary-Kate and Ashley, who played Michelle, were great. I miss them, I love them, and I need to borrow some money from them.

When I was younger, I would go to auditions to have the opportunity to audition, which would mean another chance to get up there and try out my stuff, or try out what I learned and see how it worked with an audience, because where are you gonna get an audience?

Leadbelly's guitar is in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame.

I'm on the rise and whatnot, but I'm not the man to say, 'All right, world, here's grime.' It's gonna take me, Skepta, JME, Novelist and Lethal Bizzle, to say, 'I'm sick, he's sick, he's sick, he's sick'. Not one man can do it.

If it wasn't for the fun and money, I really don't know why I'd bother.

If I could get the respect of 14-year-olds, I'm happy. They're the toughest audience.

'Eyes Wide Open' took shape from two real life events straight from my own past.

In general, I'm fascinated by women who exist outside of society's mores and values.

While Israelis do not care too much about Europeans moral judgments, the E.U. is an important market for them, and European sanctions of any kind would be harmful to Israel.

Quetzalcoatl is a primal idea of the duality of human nature. The serpent is the embodiment of Heaven and Earth. It scares people in many ways.

I find the light and work it, work it, work it.

The problem with comedy audiences - it's like the Coliseum - when they see someone struggling, they don't feel altruistic towards them. They feel slightly repulsed by it.

The status quo sucks.

The kinds of truth that art gives us many, many times are small truths. They don't have the resonance of an encyclical from the Pope stating an eternal truth, but they partake of the quality of eternity. There is a sort of timeless delight in them.

I think when you're put into a completely different situation and environment, you really see who you are. You're not affected by what's around you. You are who you are.

Think of all the different features from Asian to African to Aboriginal to Caucasian. But we are all within the same species, Homo Sapiens.

I never fail to find it weird when people recognise me.

You can tease it's mane all you like, but you can't turn a house cat into a lion.
