I like my subjects to be American, and not too dead, so I can interview people who knew them.
It is not for the State Department or even the Secretary of State to say when and how the resources of the American people will be spent.
Only very rarely are foreigners or first-generation immigrants allowed to be nice people in American films. Those with an accent are bad guys.
There's a lot of things that are said on the American Idol message board. I quit reading them because most of the people are very mean.
Obama has no power to change American policy because there are people who specialize in drawing these policies, which have been and still are hostile towards Islam.
A country like America has twice as much food on its shop shelves and in its restaurants than is actually required to feed the American people.
The freedom I have as a U.S. citizen is unparalleled. Despite the fact people may not like American passports, having that passport affords me more freedoms than any other passport could.
The American people don't believe politicians. They don't believe business leaders or Hollywood celebrities or athletes or other supposed role models. And they certainly don't believe the news media.

The majority of people think their children's lives will not be as good as theirs. Nearly half of all Americans are no longer proud of their country. Politicians have become a despised breed.
The presidency is the most visible thread that runs through the tapestry of the American government. More often than not, for good or for ill, it sets the tone for the other branches and spurs the expectations of the people.
I think we Americans, of all people, understand the importance of a good, legal, constitutional framework as the basis of political life.
I am very proud to be African. I want to defend African people, and I want to show to the world that African players can be as good as the Europeans and South Americans.
No American conservative has ever argued that the government should never be involved in peoples' lives. That is anarchy, and we don't argue for that.
