I think I've revived the costume-jewelry industry.

I have been in meetings where a head of state will say, 'I like your tie,' to a man... or, 'I like your country because the weather's good,' or whatever. So for me, the pins in some ways were openers.

It's one thing to be religious, but it's another thing to make religion your policy.

People are finding it harder and harder to relate to foreign policy.

I have had fun being who I became, so to speak.

When somebody is flying airplanes into buildings and killing innocent people in the name of God, it makes you question why do they have that interpretation and somebody else has another interpretation, and how many people of Muslim faith would agree with that, and what are the different aspects of different people's religions that is so divisive, rather than being unifying?

There are a lot of similar aspects in all the religions. The question is which side of it you hold up.
