I don't want to use the term "nuclear weapons" because those people in iran who have authority say they are not building nuclear weapons. i make an appeal to the countries who do have nuclear weapons. they don't consider them a nuclear threat. but let's say a country that doesn't have nuclear weapons gets involved in building them, then they are told by those that already have nuclear weapons that they oppose [such a development]. where is the justice in that?

We have been led to believe that we have come a long way toward world nuclear disarmament. but that is not the case. our government is not doing all that it could. we must urge our leaders to fulfill the obligations of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. the united states must assume world leadership to end once and for all the threat of nuclear war. it is our moral responsibility.

Yes, i think lots of people are eager to obtain weapons of mass destruction. but there's no evidence that he has weapons of mass destruction. there's been no evidence of him testing nuclear weapons. we have people that are in our face with nuclear weapons. we've got iran and north korea. we've got a problem with pakistan. you know, i don't know what to say about that. there's a whole lot of people that are going nuclear. and i think that saddam hussein is actually, with the evidence, the least able to use nuclear weapons and the least obvious offender in that area at this moment.

I always knew i had a voice and i've always known i could sing, but i was too shy to let it come out. i think it's the hardest thing to do, to sing in front of people. when i finally let go and did it, i realized it's what i'm most talented at and what i love to do the most.
