It was to do with information management. The intention was to dramatise it.

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.

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.

I knew I was supposed to be a writer; I had made that declaration in the closet of my soul.

The trouble is that everyone talks about reforming others and no one thinks about reforming himself.

In fashion, the most important thing is to move on.

The only difference between a rich man and a poor man, is that the poor man suffers uncomfortably, while the rich man suffers comfortably.

It's hard to start and think about having balance. Music is a tough industry, and you have to work your way to that luxury.
