The greatest challenge of a World Cup is having mental fortitude. The pressure is immense.
When one has seen something of the world and human nature, one must conclude, after all, that between people in like stations of life there is very little difference the world over.
Mothers know the difference between a broth and a consommé. And the difference between damask and chintz. And the difference between vinyl and Naugahyde.

If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it's that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.

I think art is the development of this interface between mind and matter, between mind and phenomenon, between what's inside of us and what's happening outside of us. It developed over the course of the last 35,000 years.

It's that continuous relationship: technology and discernment.

The difference between "trained OK" and "trained perfectly" doesn't really matter all that much to me. I once did a film with Lassie.

If the world's best-trained dog can jump around to show he's happy then my dogs should be allowed to do the same.
