“The greatest of people that have ever been in society, they were never versions of someone else. They were themselves.”
“The power of our example is more important than the strength of our military.”
“Zionism is an abominable, racist and colonial movement. Like all colonial and apartheid systems, it's in the interest of all that it be swept away. My hope is to see it replaced, without any bloodshed, with a democratic, secular and lay state â€“ for example on the borders of historic Palestine â€“ and where Palestinians and Israelis could live under equal rights of citizenship without ethnic and religious discrimination. It's a wish that I hope will soon become a reality.”
“The new Squarepusher album as well, although it is proper headf*** industrial. Not one for a pool party in Ibiza!”
“You cannot understand what a person is saying unless you understand who they are arguing with.”
“I like the sensibility of Australian film a lot and the crews are fantastic. Great characters, wonderful people and no line between - I think in Hollywood they have this line between actors and crew a lot, and that just didn't exist, which I really appreciated.”
