"I was running and deliberately lost my way. The world far off and nothing but my breath and the very next step and it's like hypnosis. The feeling of conquering my own aliveness with no task but to keep going, making every way the right away and that's a metaphor for everything."

History

"As far as U.S. intelligence knows, Iran is developing nuclear capacities, but they don't know if they are trying to develop nuclear weapons or not. Chances are they're developing what's called 'nuclear capability,' which many states have. That is the ability to have nuclear weapons if they decide to do it. That's not a crime."
