Apology calls for a willingness to sacrifice on behalf of the wronged party and the inherent value of the relationship, not for what it brings to you but for what you can bring to it.

Apology sends the clearest signal that we have the strength of character to reconcile ourselves with the truth.

An effective apology contains within it the answer to the question, "How am I to be held accountable?"

An effective apology focuses more on compassion for the victim than redemption for the offender.

Apologies have more power than most of us realize to restore strained relationships, free us from vengeful impulses, and create possibilities for growth.

Apology is both transactional, in that it restores what has been broken to what it was before, and transformational, in that it creates opportunities that didn't exist before.

When I accept an apology it means that the part in me that honors our relationship honors the part in you that honors our relationship.

Accepting the apology signals the acknowledgment of a need to move forward, but not necessarily together.

I love actors, and I'm passionate about the creative process of acting and filmmaking.

I am a Zionist, an ardent supporter of Israel, its defender when I deem Israel to be right and its critic when I deem it to be wrong.

Most men remember obligations, but not often to be grateful; the proud are made sour by the remembrance and the vain silent.
