The worst thing ever that you have to explain your joke because I was very disappointed trying to explain why the joke is funny for the interrogator.

It is very depressing to see that in the 21st century people are still using the same 1950s and '60s style of propaganda.

It doesn't matter if the truth is right there out in front of your eyes. You will find a way, a mechanism, in order to keep your own system of denial. So as I always say it, denial is a river that runs in the - in Egypt. So we became very good in that.

People say, 'Are you afraid? Are you scared for your life?' and I tell them: If I choose today to tone it down, if I choose today to shut up, tomorrow me, you, and all of us will be forced to.

The only the way that you can live and function without seeing the facts in front of you is to put yourself in a constant state of denial.

I think that the religious and the military right wings are just two sides of the same coin if somebody uses God and religion and somebody uses country and security.

It is very difficult to imagine that you can actually get rid of a dictatorship that has been there for 60 years only in 18 days.
