“Everything we do is about the emotion of the characters. We believe the better the emotion, the better the movie.” Quote by Nicolas Winding Refn
“The steady progress made by North Korea on its nuclear and missile programs is deeply concerning. The US cannot solve this problem alone. However, in order to take steps that could fundamentally affect the North Korean leadership and its decision-making, we need to work even more closely with our allies in the region who feel this threat acutely. I would urge China, in particular, to intensify its leadership role in helping to solve this crisis.” HelpingProblemProgressProgramCrisisThreatSteadyNorth KoreaKoreanNorth Korean Author:Sam Nunn
“Some people think we will see a nuclear explosion in Europe or the United States within the next 10 years. Will it happen? Sure, it's possible. But I think we can greatly diminish that risk. The only way you can do that is through cooperation, and it has to be global.” PeopleThinkingRiskCooperation Author:Sam Nunn
“There is a pervasive mistrust that grew out of the Cold War and still continues today - even though there are a lot more mutual interests between Europe, Russia and the United States than ever before. But the way we organize things today, it takes years to negotiate. By the time you get a result, the technology has far outrun the policy. So we have to start a dynamic, sustainable type of policy deliberations that can catch up with technology.” WarTodayInterestTechnologyPolicyColdMutualOrganizeCold WarMistrust Author:Sam Nunn
“It's very hard for Europe, the US and Russia to have much influence on the growing problems elsewhere in the world unless we have our own backyard in a more stable and cooperative atmosphere.” WorldProblemInfluenceAtmosphereElsewhere Author:Sam Nunn
“The Iranians know that if they develop nuclear weapons, they will be in tremendous jeopardy from military capabilities of their neighbors and of the United States. I am not predicting what will happen in 2013, but I do think it is a crucial year. I hope we can make it clear to the Iranians that we do not object to them having peaceful use of nuclear power. But when they enrich Uranium to a 20 percent level, people think they are going for the bomb. Their uranium enrichment program is a real danger.” PeopleThinkingRealMilitaryDangerProgramNeighborPeacefulCapabilityNuclear WeaponsNuclear PowerEnrichmentUranium Author:Sam Nunn
“We need a dialogue with the Iranians, and it is going to take both carrots and sticks. We employed very tough economic sanctions, and they are having an effect. But we also have to give the Iranians an idea of what the economic and cooperative possibilities would be if they did give up their quest for a nuclear weapon.” GivingEconomicPossibilityGiving UpToughDialogueNuclear Weapons Author:Sam Nunn

“I think if terrorists had nuclear materials and found people to put a bomb together - both of which are possible - we would already have seen a nuclear explosion. But we have literally thousands of people around the world working their tails off and making a lot of sacrifices to contain nuclear materials. I particularly would like to compliment the Russians on this. In times of great economic distress, many of them could have made an awful lot of money if they had sold their expertise.” PeopleThinkingWorldTogetherSacrificeEconomicTerroristComplimentExpertise Author:Sam Nunn
“I don't think that within a certain amount of time we can get rid of all nuclear weapons. But I do believe that, step by step, we could get others to join us. I call it going up the mountain. We can get to the top eventually, but we have to get to base camp first. Right now, we are in the valley. So we have a long way to go, but maybe our children or our grandchildren will see the top of the mountain.” ThinkingBelieveChildrenLongMountainOur ChildrenNuclear WeaponsGrandchildren Author:Sam Nunn
“We lack a political culture, a culture of compromise. We in Poland, as well as the Hungarians, have never learned this sort of thing. Although there is a strong desire for freedom in the countries of Eastern Europe, there is no democratic tradition, so that the risk of anarchy and chaos continues to exist. Demagoguery and populism are rampant. We are the illegitimate children, the bastards of communism. It shaped our mentality.” ChildrenCountryPoliticalDesireCultureStrongRiskTraditionDemocraticChaosCompromiseCommunismAnarchyMentalityEasternDemagoguery Author:Adam Michnik
