That's the story of life - when you start enjoying people, it's always too late.

Life is too short to be lived badly.

The real war is not between the West and the East. The real war is between intelligent and stupid people.

All big changes of the world come from words.

I love having that creative discussion where, at the end of the day, you both feel better for having done it. Maybe it's a typically Jewish thing, where you sort of go at each other.

Changes made to please others are unrealistic, but more important, they're unfair to you.
