• Me deprimen constantemente los pandilleros mexicanos que conozco en el este de Los Ángeles, que viven esencialmente su vida dentro de cinco o seis manzanas. Están atrapados en un pequeño gueto mental que los limita a esas cinco manzanas porque, dicen, "soy mexicano. Vivo aquí". Y yo digo: "¿Cómo que vives aquí, a cinco manzanas? Tu abuelita caminó tres mil kilómetros para llegar aquí. Violó fronteras, pasó de un idioma a otro, se trasladó de un pueblo del siglo XVI a una ciudad del siglo XXI, ¿y tú vives a cinco manzanas?".

• There is always the risk that a conflagration in the Middle East becomes larger and more dangerous. In this scenario, we discover that the Arab Spring was merely the prelude to a deeper and much farther-reaching upheaval in the region that has greater impact on countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia.

• En lugares como Alemania o Francia, la idea de blanco-negro no es tanto la de blanco-negro como la de "nuestra gente y ellos", y "ellos" pueden ser personas de Oriente Próximo como turcos o musulmanes o norteafricanos, todos los cuales bien podrían considerarse blancos en Estados Unidos.

• Si vas a algún lugar al este de aquí, generalmente lo que quieres hacer es tratar de tener tu hora de acostarte cada vez más temprano, así que lo que haremos es que alguien se ajuste por una semana o dos yendo a estar 15 minutos más temprano y levantándose 15 minutos más temprano cada noche. Eso puede ser algo muy simple.

• Hillary Clinton was the one pressing the hardest for bombing, and look at what happened. They not only destroyed the country, but Libya has become the center for jihad all over Africa and the Middle East. It's a total disaster in every respect, but it does not matter. Look at the so-called global war on terror.

• En Estados Unidos y en Occidente existe esta crisis existencial de ¿quién soy yo? - basada en la búsqueda de la realización individual, que no se da necesariamente en Oriente, porque te dicen lo que tienes que hacer. No digo que uno sea mejor que el otro, sólo digo que ésa es la realidad.

• I've thought for some time that the answer to a lot of problems in the Middle East, including Iran, include an active role with Russia. And I think, in some ways, we've taken show votes in the U.N. that are guaranteed to failure before we take them.

• I watched American TV shows: Starsky & Hutch, Dallas, Rockford Files, Bonanza. And for many summers growing up, I worked on my aunt and uncle's farm in East Anglia. Down the street was an American cemetery for the Second World War, and every Memorial Day an American bomber would fly over that cemetery and drop rose petals.

• Era un testimonio de la resistencia de la humanidad. Dale a un hombre un árbol y lo convertirá en un barco; dale una hoja y la curvará hasta convertirla en una taza y beberá agua de ella; dale una roca y fabricará un arma para protegerse a sí mismo y a su familia. Dale a un hombre una pequeña caja y un límite de 140 caracteres para escribir en ella, y la adaptará para luchar contra una dictadura opresora en Oriente Próximo.

• Since the uprisings in the Middle East many scholars have come out saying that freedom comes first before the Shariah. There is also something important that we must keep in mind in our understanding the Shariah, and that is the room for what is permissible should be as wide as possible. So we should leave it open to let people be creative.

• Shaking up whole region means that Israel needs the US for its safety and military camps are "flourishing" everywhere in the Middle East. It has been said that Barack Obama is less interested in the Middle East. I don't think so. This mess has been created and maintained. Maybe the US is pretending to be less interested, however, it allows them to take their power back when it comes to security.

• When terrorism is directly aiming at Western countries, it is automatically and abnormally enlarged in order to instill emotions and fear. However, when attacks happen in the Middle East, is it conveniently downplayed and less talked about. Unless they would benefit more from a heavy coverage.

• I worked at the original Coyote Ugly bar when I was a young, unpublished writer. Then later when I became a writer, I wrote an article about it for GQ. Disney read this article about this filthy, disgusting pit in the East Village [of New York City], where we used to set the bar on fire to get customers away from us, and said, "That's a great movie for kids!" They made the fantastic Coyote Ugly movie, now legendary.

• De hecho, si nos fijamos en la guerra global de Reagan contra el terrorismo, muy rápidamente se convirtió en una guerra terrorista masiva: [por nosotros] Centroamérica, Sudáfrica, Oriente Medio, todo terrorismo respaldado por EEUU. Esa es una de las razones por las que desapareció de la historia y por las que la línea estándar es que Bush 43 declaró la guerra al terrorismo. En realidad sólo repitió lo que Reagan había dicho 20 años antes.
