I hope I'm exactly what America is looking for, I don't know, I'm just going to be myself and hope that they love it. That's all I can do.

American critics are like American universities. They both have dull and half-dead faculties.

If we have to use force, it is because we are America. We are the indispensable nation. We stand tall. We see further into the future.

I was a little girl in World War II and I'm used to being freed by Americans.

I was in Europe and it was at this stage that I fell in love with Americans in uniform. And I continue to have that love affair.

Our strategic dialogue with China can both protect American interests and uphold our principles, provided we are honest about our differences on human rights and other issues and provided we use a mix of targeted incentives and sanctions to narrow these differences.

The American invasion did not succeed in Vietnam, and will never succeed in Iraq.

All I want to do is make sure that art is available to all Americans in a participatory way, whether you engage in the art process yourself or you're an audience member.

It is a rare American who does not have some story about how music has made our lives richer and more interesting, how it has changed our moods, brought out the best in our character and even sometimes helped us earn a living.

Until quite recently dance in America was the ragged Cinderella of the arts.

I just feel happy to be in America, like I said, it's the most beautiful country in the world.

I think America is on the right track.

We are succeeding in Iraq. Thank you, America.

If we had loads of money as a family, things would be different and they'd come to visit more and I'd get to spend more time here. But I'm laying down roots in America so when I'm there, just being at home, it's harder to break away from that.

America feels like home as much as it does here. Although it's a strange situation as I feel almost like I'm in no-man's land some of the time, because although I'm a resident, I still can't vote so I don't really have a say in what goes on where I live.

I had a really good time with Martha Stewart, who also is somebody I really admire a lot. I've learned a lot from her and I think all of America has, about attention to detail and using fresh ingredients and making things beautiful and special.
