It's true the Iraqis misbehaved and had no credibility but that doesn't necessarily mean that they were in the wrong.

What surprises me, what amazes me, is that it seems the military people were expecting to stumble on large quantities of gas, chemical weapons and biological weapons.

Iraq did not spontaneously opt for disarmament. They did it as part of a ceasefire, so they were forced to do it, otherwise the war might have gone on. So the motivation has been very different.

Never humiliate anyone.

So interviews are a valuable tool, but under certain circumstances they'd be more valuable than others.

International cooperation, multilateralism is indispensable.

Like I said, I'm more worried long term about the environmental issues then the use of arms.

Disarmament by war and democracy by occupation are difficult prospects.

I found it peculiar that those who wanted to take military action could - with 100 per cent certainty - know that the weapons existed and turn out to have zero knowledge of where they were.

If you take the biological weapons in the United States we still will have perhaps a single individual who was able to make anthrax, dry it, and spread it through the mail and cause terror.

But I would say if the Security Council is only relevant if it agrees with the United States, then we have come a long way in a direction that I do not like very much.

Whilst some people inspire, others conspire!

Words can hurt, but words can also inspire.

Focus on the long term, and always do what's right to grow the company and not make short-term decisions. And outlast everyone one.

Virtue is its own punishment.

You cannot walk on the water of hunger, misery, and death. You have to wade through to record them.

The Beginning of Philosophy is a Consciousness of your own Weakness and inability in necessary things.

I'm not really attracted to action sequences, because my experience is that it's quite a slow process to shoot them, and often we're not involved as actors.

You know, I think I had a great career; there's not much I think I'd do different other than get a title shot much earlier. I didn't get one till 49 or 50 fights into my career.

My life is pretty simple and normal.

To be a good sports journalist takes many things, but the main thing it takes is the ability to listen and follow your nose - see something, sense something and follow it.
