My father was in Ataturk's closest group. They lived together during the War of Liberation in Turkey.

It is very important that the world know that there have been 500 years of peaceful coexistence in Turkey between the Jews and Moslems.

I've lived very well all my life, even when I had no money, and there's very little I can't afford.

There's no place in the world you can go and not hear rock-and-roll, from Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder to Phil Collins.

Jesse Stone did more to develop the basic rock-and-roll sound than anybody else.

I think it's better to burn out than to fade away... it's better to live out your days being very, very active - even if it destroys you - than to quietly... disappear.
