I am happy for people to talk about my pictures, but I wish devoutly that I was not expected to talk about them myself. ↗

If you don't take no chances, then you're not a performer. Performers always take chances. You go see a singer, they'll hit the high note. They'll hit that note, they're not afraid, they're gonna exaggerate the fact and make me enjoy it, make me say, 'Wow, I wish I could do that!' ↗

I don't wish I started later, but I was never a child star. I was in school every year and had normal friends and I loved it and here I am, so I can't say that I wish I hadn't done it. I used to say, 'No, I didn't miss any of my childhood,' but it is a very adult place to be, a movie set. Like, it's a little weird. ↗

I wish to say to you that the life of an enlightened people and a vibrant nation cannot be measured by the life of an individual. A successful person is one who manages to lay down a new stone, a brick that would help firm up his nation's existence. ↗

We believe democracy to be the only real guarantor of stability and we have sought to create a 'Jordanian model' that might also inspire others in our region. I wish democracy and peace to be my legacy to my people and the shield of generations to come. ↗

I wish they'd shut the gates, and let us play ball with no press and no fans. ↗

One reason why I don't drink is because I wish to know when I am having a good time. ↗

What then is time? If no one asks me, I know what it is. If I wish to explain it to him who asks, I do not know. ↗
