While researching 'The Submission,' I went to a protest against the Ground Zero mosque in New York when I was about to give birth to twins. It was about 100 degrees. People thought I was very dedicated.

Everyone thought the mob was done after RICO.... And they were. Then the Towers came down. Overnight, the feds shifted three-quarters of their personnel into anti-terrorism and the mob made a comeback. Shit, they even made a fortune overcharging for debris removal from Ground Zero.... 9/11 saved the mafia.

Huntington Beach is like ground zero for surfers.

Ground zero for me is audio.

New York is traditional New York, you know what I'm saying? It's the stomping ground of the hustlers and go-getters.

The terrorists haven't won, and we should tell them in plain English, 'No, there will never be a mosque at Ground Zero.'
