I've written some short stories about my personal experience, but it's not something you can use everywhere. Every novel, every work of fiction, needs its own food.

We are not in prison so we are free and happy? No. We're in a different kind of prison in this life. We have to confront it, and we have to liberate Istanbul and ourselves, as well.

It's a bit questionable whether Turkey is a model country or not, since our government is supporting ISIS in Syria, since there are legislations that are not in line with democratic rules.

I have to remind myself that I've always known this: Evolution is not for everybody.

When reason has followed its road to the end, the point of crisis is reached and man is brought to the great question mark over his own existence.

I would happily, sometimes more than happily, have vacated my role as an animal theologian, if there were others prepared to take my place.

I write almost every single part of my songs, even the actual drum parts sometimes, whether they be simple or layered with many different instruments.

I know it will take a little time to adapt to a different team and a different league.

There is nothing beyond God, and the sense enjoyments are simply something through which we are passing now in the hope of getting better things.

My theory is if you have a religion, it's a good one. Because some people don't have any at all.
