Nokia's (revenue) numbers on handset and infrastructure were lower than expected, ... Right now we think it's a battle between bearish fundamentals and valuation. Nokia shares are at a bottom, and with the news now out, the shares could rally. (Reza Pahlavi Mohammed)

To be in this business and have tremendous integrity and only make distinguished choices is very tough. Denzel Washington's career is an enormous luxury. Compare him to Wesley Snipes. Do you think that they set out for it to be that way? All actors set out for the same thing: to make both entertaining films and important films. (Reza Pahlavi Mohammed)

I'll be with it as long as it takes. Certainly, in this business you need a tremendous amount of inner fortitude to be in it for any kind of length of time, and I've already been doing this for twenty years. I'm just going to keep on working on the things that reach me, the things that I want to be associated with and identified with, both as an actor and a filmmaker. (Reza Pahlavi Mohammed)
We called both the music and the videos CKY because that's all we did, ... I recorded music all night and then filmed all day with those guys. So it made sense to call it CKY because that's what we always did — even though, really, they have nothing to do with each other at all! But it made sense to us because that's all we spent our time doing. (Reza Pahlavi Mohammed)
Casting directors now just see me as the hard-core sniper or prison guard. (Reza Pahlavi Mohammed)

You know how this business is. It limits a performer, it makes him a specialist. That's great if you want to be a star; bad if you want to be an actor. I've always wanted to be an actor. (Reza Pahlavi Mohammed)
I haven't done a great deal of it but this was a chance to do more and bring it to that part of the business and even more so, but the fact that it was a black superhero was really the catalyst to me. (Reza Pahlavi Mohammed)
I think one of the most difficult challenges in show business is the challenge of longevity and to constantly realize and reveal what's already been there - like doing stage and singing and dancing in New York. I haven't been that far out of my comfort zone in a while. (Reza Pahlavi Mohammed)
To be still standing 20 years in this business is a great feeling, I can't even tell you. (Reza Pahlavi Mohammed)
I've got a love affair with this business, and the more you love something, the more you want to make sure everything goes right. This isn't just a hobby. It's my life, and I want it to be right. (Reza Pahlavi Mohammed)
Maybe I should quit the business. There's no one left for me to love. Mama's dead. Mr. Burns couldn't care less about me. What's left? (Reza Pahlavi Mohammed)

I've modeled a lot of what I've tried to do in this business after him, and he's been very supportive and helpful to me.

(Reza Pahlavi Mohammed)
