I have strong sentiments toward Iran, since I distinguish between the Iranian regime and the Iranian people. I highly esteem Iranian music and culture.

Our family has lived in Iran for 2,500 years, and Iranian Jewry has the long history in that land.

I am sure the majority of Iranians want a peace agreement with Israel and want Iran to integrate with the international community and accept its universal values.

Iran stands behind a substantial number of terrorist actions against us, together with Hizballah and the Islamic Jihad. It pretends to care for the Palestinians.

There are severe limitations on civil rights. In the international arena, Iran is turning into an isolated country, and the international community is becoming more hostile toward it.

The Holocaust is not only a tragedy of the Jewish people, it is a failure of humanity as a whole.

Persian social manners are well known, and there is no other society that can compete with them.

The Hamas organization is unwilling to honor the obligations that the Palestinian Authority has signed.

The international community is unwilling to accept the policies of the Iranian regime.

Apparently Iran thinks that it can continue to deceive the world in order to reach its goals.

I don't think that Iran with a nuclear capability will be just the problem of the state of Israel. This is a matter that concerns the whole world.

We must join with the tens of millions all over the world who see in peace our most sacred responsibility.

Perhaps something like Facebook couldn't have been invented by somebody who goes out five nights a week and has a ton of friends and makes friends really easily.

Where is love exchanged? Where is the love felt when a state administrator stuffs a welfare check into an outgoing mail?

I've met big-name actors doing Hollywood films, and they've said that all they want is an in at HBO and their own show.

I've listened to Jazz since I was born and always knew I'd be a Jazz singer!

Most people who succeed in life have no clue that what they are trying to achieve is impossible.

When we are understood, we always speak well, and then all your fine diction serves no purpose.

We are all united by the phenomenon that we have a body and that body is universally the same, more or less. If we lose sight of that perspective, everything can desperately suffer.

Poor little Foal of an oppressed race! I love the languid patience of thy face.

What is today supported by precedents will hereafter become a precedent.
