I would be willing to do almost anything to make Art happy. I care about our friendship. The only thing I won't do is change the essence of my work.

Look, I worked with American Republican presidents and Democratic presidents, all of them, and each of them has shown a deep and profound friendship to Israel, you know? I can't remember anybody who was in that sense negative as far as Israel is concerned.

Why do we go around acting as though everything was friendship and reliability when basically everything everywhere is full of sudden hate and ugliness?

The most deadly fruit is borne by the hatred which one grafts on an extinguished friendship.

Came but for friendship, and took away love.
