There's always something interesting about comedy teams that have the exact same energy. The one time I really noticed that was Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly in 'Step Brothers.'
The Iranian people, with regards to the policies of various American administrations in the past 30 years, are very worried. They don't trust them.
Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.
My main concern is theater, and theater does not reflect or mirror society. It has been stingy and selfish, and it has to do better.
A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.
Society can overlook murder, adultery or swindling; it never forgives preaching of a new gospel.
The forces in a capitalist society, if left unchecked, tend to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
I just love westerns. One of my favourite actors is John Wayne, probably one of the most underrated actors there's ever been. He's quite an incredible actor.
When I was 12, I began listening to John Coltrane and I developed a love for jazz, which I still have more and more each year.
My songwriting is so influenced by orchestrated music, dramatic, super glam rock-y stuff. Two of my biggest influences in songwriting were Elton John and Freddie Mercury.

What is interesting in this is the exchange of music that occurred between New Orleans and Cuba, I mean, they had ferries that would go from one port to another.
I will keep playing as long as my body lets me, and as long as I'm wanted by my listeners. Because music is the only thing that keeps me going.
I try to give to my music the spiritual quality, very deep in the soul, which does something even if you are not realizing it or analyzing it - that's the duty of the music.
In politics women type the letters, lick the stamps, distribute the pamphlets and get out the vote. Men get elected.
The proposal that men and women should be treated equally under the law is hardly a controversial concept.
Write in such a way as that you can be readily understood by both the young and the old, by men as well as women, even by children.
When I was under house arrest, it was the BBC that spoke to me - I listened.
Why don't we focus on what Afghan women can do? They can cook, bear children and pray. As I recall, that was fine for our grandmothers.
