I speak Farsi, German, Dari, and I understand Turkish, but I haven't used it since 1985, so I'm a bit rusty.

I like 'Breaking Bad' and 'Game of Thrones.' I like that era. I like that fantasy world.

All that you do will come back to you. Good and bad.

Sometimes I'm angry, sometimes I'm not angry.

The presence of many does not and cannot replace the absence of one. That is love.
