change climate east five middle optimism peace sure within
What we really need is to get back some of the optimism we had five years ago (in the Middle East peace process) and I'm sure there's going to be a change in the climate within a week.
It would almost need a Mafia-like offer I couldn't refuse to do another movie.
wonderful
I don't think I'll ever act again. I have so many wonderful memories, but those days are over.
