“You should never appease terrorists. The mistake made by critics of the 'talking to your enemy' approach is to equate talking with appeasing.”

“It was the rootlessness that went with being the son of an RAF officer that shaped me. I had been to 11 schools by the time I was 9.”

“Terrorism is resorted to for practical reasons because there is no other tool available. And those who use terrorism, and then subsequently become the targets of terrorism, understand its power and how difficult it is to counter it. Not just militarily. But especially in terms of international perception.”

“'Borderlands' came out of nowhere to appease the gnawing hunger left behind with the dearth of quality dungeon crawlers on the market.”

“I don't 'handle' people. It's so much easier to manipulate actors than to really have an earnest discussion with them. It's very easy to say whatever's going to appease them and then turn around and do whatever you want to do. It's difficult to be forthright with people, because the job does not lend itself to that.”

“Like, even in our stage performance, it's vulnerable at certain times, it's sad, it's raging... It's not just about being a sex symbol, or being sexy to appease everyone. I'm not about that.”
