There is no way a non-Jew could say what I did in 'The Holocaust Industry' without being labelled a Holocaust denier. I am labelled a Holocaust denier, too.

International law says people fighting for self-determination can use force in order to achieve their independence.

They used to say Palestinians fight like heroes, now they say heroes fight like Palestinians

Why should these Palestinians, who have lived in Jerusalem for hundreds of years, be evicted from their homes so that Jews from Brooklyn can live in them?

Insofar as Zionism sought to solve the Jewish question, it must be reckoned not just a failure but a catastrophe: Israel is the main cause of anti-Semitism in the world today.

Israel has come out of the boils of the hell, a satanic state.

The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse.

Respect doesn't come without a little resentment.

To be alive at all involves some risk.

Although there are good and bad companies, there is no such thing as a good stock; there are only good stock prices, which come and go.

I was very skinny and very lanky and kind of awkward. In Puerto Rico everybody is a little more voluptuous, with these beautiful bodies and there I was the skinny lanky girl.

I think it's not just Republicans who would like to see the Senate run differently. I think there are a reasonable number of Democrats as well.

It's better to go slowly in the right direction than go speeding off in the wrong direction.
