In my twenties I would be skeptical of a bad haircut, but once you turn thirty it's more about whether he a nice person and does he open the door for me.

I don't turn my nose up at anything. If it's a great part, it's a great part. I'd love to do a box-office hit.

What we want to achieve is Afghanistan's capacity to secure and govern itself.
I grill almost all of my fish with the skin on because that gives you real protection at least on one side. It's a nice barrier against super high heat which tends to make a lot of fish to turn really flaky. It's very easy to overcook fish on the grill. But I still brush it with oil before I start.
