Get it - get it better or get it worse. No middle ground of compromise.

I decided on the spot that I would be an artist, and I assure you, it was no ordinary artist I had in mind.

It seemed to me that this might be a great pageant, which would give a chance for a very interesting picture.

I'm interested in all kinds of pictures, however they are made, with cameras, with paint brushes, with computers, with anything.

Before I die, I will preach to the Muslims in the Arab world. I will preach in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. I will preach in Tehran. I will do it under the umbrella of God. And see its impact.
