Leadership is an opportunity to serve. It is not a trumpet call to self-importance.

In a sense, each of us is an island. In another sense, however, we are all one. For though islands appear separate, and may even be situated at great distances from one another, they are only extrusions of the same planet, Earth.

There are realities we all share, regardless of our nationality, language, or individual tastes. As we need food, so do we need emotional nourishment: love, kindness, appreciation, and support from others.

Peace is not a thought, not a concept; it is a nonverbal experience.

I believe however that peace is attainable regardless of the Arabs mentality, society or government.

What is not cool is if we have a problem with an artist or if an artist has a problem with us, come to us directly. Talk to us. Don't start a Twitter war and all that kind of stuff. That's silly.

We believe world peace is inevitable.
