We're in an emergency situation. The United States has become an absolutely terrifying country and I would hope that I could participate in some way in stopping the horror and the brutality.

My hope is that countries like Morocco will have investment to create work so people don't have to leave.

It's true that General Musharraf opposes my return seeing me as a symbol of democracy in the country. He is comfortable with dictatorship. I hope better sense prevails.

The only thing I hope I did was never put in question my love for the game or my passion to be counted on when it mattered most.

I told the President I told Rahm Emanuel and others in the administration that I thought the policy they took to try to bring about negotiations is counter-productive because when you give the Palestinians hope that the United States will do its negotiating for them they are not going to sit down and talk.

Ironically Latin American countries in their instability give writers and intellectuals the hope that they are needed.

As I travel across the country speaking about MS perhaps I can offer others comfort and hope.

If you know that life is basically going to be horrendously difficult at best and all but unlivable at worst or possibly even unlivable do you go on? And the choice to go on is the only thing that I think can be called hope. Because if hope isn't forced to encounter the worst possibility then it's a lie.

I'm constantly thinking about what I'll do next. I never count on music being a career of longevity. I mean longevity is key and I hope that it lasts but you just don't know because it's not in your hands you don't make the decision.

I hope that none of the countries in the Middle East are planning anything but the peaceful utilization of nuclear energy.
