I don't think there's any concession we can make that would pacify those remonstrators.

It's a slight concession by the administration to acknowledge that they heard our cries. It's not really going to pacify the people who are really angry, but it's a step in the right direction.

I thought it sounded great, but at the same time I said, 'I think I am going to puke,' because you can't mess it up. Either you go out and you nail it or you quit the business, pack up and move to some strange country where no one knows who you are. It was really that much pressure, but what was really interesting was that once I met Sir Paul McCartney, all of that went away and ... he brought everything down to a level that made it more real rather than surreal. And that was very helpful because in my mind he is one of the greatest legends of rock and roll.

We're going to put $300,000 into the concession stands just to revamp them.

We'd like to think that our music will always be bigger than any one of our individual personalities.

I think this was a concession to Egypt so Egypt would vote together with the U.S. and Western states: If you're going to put pressure on Iran, you're going to have to have something that will relate to Israel.
