That's what animals do all of the time; they watch out, they watch out, and I saw, "This is us now." Us, the world, we are watching out.

Animals are always goddesses and gods, like the god Anubis. He's the one who's accompanying the souls to the next life, and he's the one who decides if they will be able to cross or not.

We're always trying to avoid being in the darkness, not knowing, and also encountering animals. There's something about them not wanting to be seen; they go out at night, they hide, they don't want to be shown. It's very interesting genetically that they have to hide from us actually. Between themselves, they smell each other, but there is this thing of hiding, of suspicion.

I go back to [the idea] that we are avoiding all of these unknowns, we're avoiding the night - most of us - we're avoiding the encounters, but we're also afraid to deal with something unknown, unseen.

We are very concerned all the time with figuring out new technologies and advances in science, but really [while] our future is dependent on science and progress, it's not less dependent on the way we treat each other.

There's something about night and day, and life and death, but animals are also mentioned a lot of times in the bible, showing up in places of desolation, or after destruction, or after the humans left the place, suddenly they would show up.

I like Palestinians in the morning when they come and we talk but in the evening, who knows, maybe they don't know that I'm nice.
