Epistemology is the study of knowledge. By what conduit do we know what we know?

I prefer to make common cause with those whose weapons are guitars, banjos, fiddles and words.

But there is a difference here: When Jewish children are murdered, Arabs celebrate the deed. The death of an Arab child is no cause for celebration in Israel.

What moves me is neither ethnocentric pride nor sectarian arrogance. I make no claim that Jewish culture is superior to other cultures. But it is mine.

I am a universalist, passionately devoted to the cause of equality within the human family.

I have always striven to raise the voice of hope for a world where hate gives way to respect and oppression to liberation.

I'm exceedingly proud of being an actor, but I never recommend it to anyone.
