I'm not very good at resting on my laurels. I am a bit of a workaholic, and I like to keep busy and active, so I think that's what drives me.

I've never gone for the smooth, suave Latin or French lover. That usually makes me think they're trying to pull one over on me.

Sleep is the real beauty secret, but I don't get enough of that.

You can't take anything with you. So I don't understand this whole psychotic area of greed, I don't get it.

Ladies and Gentlemen this fellow combines the classic stylings of a 1950's robot with the dynamic flair of a 1970's street pimp....that's right, boys and girls every where, your friend Pimpbot 5000!

We urge you to understand the Palestinian reality, and not to rush in and impose conditions and demands that ignore this reality and increase the suffering of the people.
