I grew up with a sister I was very close with and a mom who was a powerful influence on my life. I was always close with women.

My parents grew up during the space race, and I think they imagined the future would be us living on moon bases and everyone has rocket shoes.

Sufis are keys to open up hearts.

Will you do me the honor of being my wife?

I love all types of music myself.

A King should sacrifice the best affections of his heart for the good of his country; no sacrifice should be above his determination.

Well, a lot of successes come by mistake.
