Julie GarwoodIโve never agreed with the conventional wisdom that โactors are great liars.โ If more people understood the acting process, the goals of good actors, the conventional wisdom would be โactors are terrible liars,โ because only bad actors lie on the job.

Lukas HaasTake a young man from Gaza living in the most horrendous conditions - most of it imposed by Israel - who straps dynamite around himself and then throws himself into a crowd of Israelis. I've never condoned or agreed with it, but at least it is understandable as the desperate wish of a human being who feels himself being crowded out of life and all of his surroundings, who sees his fellow citizens, other Palestinians, his parents, sisters, and brothers, suffering, being injured, or being killed.

They should never have undertaken it, because they really and truly were each other's 100% perfect lovers, and it was a miracle that they had ever met.

However, if, as many suspect, it is proven that Turkey's goal is to protract, rather than to normalize relations, we will have to discontinue the process.
