We don't have any bad memories of the people of the United States.

I have no idea what the U.S. intends to do further there and what would be the reaction of the Iraqi people. I only know that the sole option is to leave Iraq to the Iraqi people.

The important matter is freedom. When the people choose what they want, it is good for them and for us.

We have no problems with Jews and highly respect Judaism as a holy religion.

The possibility of a war under the current circumstances is not far-fetched and there is some evidence for that.

We did not treat the Americans badly. They left Iran in a relaxed mood. The embassy was active here after the revolution. We didn't have any problem with them. They started it.

We want all the Palestinians back in their homeland, and then there can be a fair referendum for people to choose the form of state they want. Whoever gets the majority can rule.

We do not trust the goodwill of the U.S. They have cut the ties.

I think that Americans should gradually begin to adopt positive behavior rather than doing evil. They should not expect an immediate reaction in return for their positive measures. It will take time.

When I talk about the assets, that was at the beginning of the talks. I was president then. I'm not president now. When I said it, this would be a sign of goodwill to begin the talks.

When al-Qaeda was on the run from Afghanistan crossing through Iran, some were arrested and they are imprisoned. Some of them are charged with some actions in Iran.

I dwell on endless possibilities.

It was as if - this something I thought of only later, of course - she were gently peeling back one layer after another that covered a person's heart, a very sensual feeling.

The real problem is not the down time that you experience: it is what you do with it.

Duncan Edwards is the one person who, even today, I really felt inferior to. I've never know anybody so gifted and strong and powerful with the presence that he had.

Argument is the worst sort of conversation.

To him who is stinted of food a boiled turnip will relish like a roast fowl.

Our lives are not what we deserve; they are, let us agree, in many ways deficient.

There's a difference between solitude and loneliness. I can understand the concept of being a monk for a while.

Dangle something in front of the camera. Get something surprising to be released.
