The Native American cultures on this continent, most of them, were matrilineal, and some women were the chiefs. Societies were about balance.

Music is a very communal thing, and it's been cool to see how different cultures have resonated with our music. It's been an amazing process.

Emotions have a way of transcending geographies and cultures and hence I don't think that an Indian woman is any different from a Turkish woman.

Egypt was - as it is now - a confluence of cultures, as a result of being a crossroads geographically between Africa, the Middle East and Europe.

My father was Muslim, and my mom is Christian, and we moved from New Orleans to Oakland, so I always had this appreciation for different cultures.

Respecting other people's cultures is well and good, but I draw the line at where some branches of Islam, what they do to women. It's indefensible.

All cultures through all time have constantly been engaged in a dance with new possibilities for life. Change is the one constant in human history.

Some things are really sacred and important to other cultures, so you have to be aware, politically, about those things before you just adopt them.

I come from a specific area in Beirut where it's multicultural, and it's a culture that blends with multiple cultures - it's unbelievable lifestyle.

I get kids from all different cultures and nationalities coming up to me now, all wanting to be F1 drivers. They feel the sport is open to everyone.

Good authors mature over time: it does take awhile. Travel abroad and learn to live in other cultures. That's one of the things about teaching abroad.

Sport is the biggest part of my life. It has allowed me to meet different people from various cultures and background and has greatly enriched my life.

There's a reason that all societies and cultures and small bands of humans engage in myth-making. Fundamentally, it is to help us understand ourselves.

France is a fantastic country. It's between the Anglo-Saxon and Latin cultures. We have some of the Anglo-Saxon rigor, and some of the Latin quirkiness.

I had never watched a live classical performance before I came to Bengaluru. I feel like this is the New York of India - a melting pot of many cultures.

The gift art gives us is that instead of seeing only our own world, we see into other times, which offers a window into other cultures and sensibilities.

Italy during Shakespeare's time had citizens of all cultures and colors. To pretend that it did not is ignorance. And I don't waste my time on ignorance.

I like making films about different cultures. I'm interested in things that I've never encountered before. I try to put myself in the audience's position.
