I don’t own a gun. I’m a pacifist. I am a critic of commercial gangsta rap music. I don’t believe you change people or their flawed perspectives from a distance. You open their minds from up close, when they realize you respect and love them.
Change
Man needs, for his happiness, not only the enjoyment of this or that, but hope and enterprise and change.

If everything is going well in my life then I start to read the papers more and I start to worry about everything I can't deal with. They say wisdom is knowing what you can fix and what you can't change. I'm very unwise.

If there is any message in my books, I want it to be that it's okay to ask questions, and it's okay to come up with a belief system all your own. Teens who change their worldviews in the face of tremendous social pressure are heroes to me.

When the Islamic revolution began in 1979 under the leadership of Ayatollah Khomeini, it aroused considerable admiration in the Arab street.
