I would like to do a story where the country found itself a presidential candidate who actually will get elected preaching traditional values and then sets out to enforce them, where it actually comes down to the fact that reality as we know it may not be as etched in stone as we tell ourselves it is.
There's nobility in hard work, traditional values.
We define a metrosexual as someone who really takes care of themselves in terms of grooming and style. There is nothing wrong with that. But I think you need to have some other values. It's cool to incorporate some traditional values into metrosexuality. Then it becomes a good lifestyle.
I think it is fair to say that during World War II there was a high sense of purpose. The country had a very clear vision of its own standing, of its own morality. It was not an ambiguous time. Today, we live in a world that is highly ambiguous, very fractured, with many of the historical, traditional values in a state of collapse, really.
There is tolerance within our community, Muslims and Christians living together in harmony. These traditional values we have should be enhanced.
There is no conflict between favouring Islamic and traditional values and being more open and international.
I have a lot of traditional values I follow personally, which was hard to deal with when I first moved to L.A.
Yes, I was slightly outside everything when I was growing up. My mother jokes that I was exchanged at birth. She brought us up to have traditional values. She was absolutely not part of the '60s generation.
Throughout history, we have only moved forward when society has distinguished between traditional values and valueless traditions.
Traditional values are big in my life.
