“What makes Iago evil? Some people ask. I never ask.”

“Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that.”

“one more person ask me if i knew the hijackers.one more motherfucker ask me what navy my brother is in.one more person assume no arabs or muslims were killed. one more personassume they know me, or that i represent a people.or that a people represent an evil. or that evil is as simple as aflag and words on a page.”

“I don't like using the word evil because it sounds as if that's all there is to be said about the person. I don't think Richard III is evil, I don't think it's helpful to say that...Iago he's not evil. Iago didn't get the job, he thinks his wife's been unfaithful to him, he doesn't like black people, he's extremely talented and very unfulfilled and he's a wonderful liar, and he's a mischeif maker and he does some dreadful, dreadful things. But that's already interesting, isn't it? Ooh, who is this guy? But if you just say "ah oh he's evil" how can you play that? I don't know how you play an evil person.”

“Some day people will ask me what is the key to my success...and I will simply say, "good Karma.”

“I don't have any of the answers, son. Never did. All I can do is keep asking the questions. Keep trying to make sense of why people do what they do.”
