[I] would argue that native-born blacks are so vastly less “African” than actual Africans that calling ourselves ‘African American’ is not only illogical but almost disrespectful to African immigrants. Here are people who were born...

As I said, my parents loved that when they came to America, if you worked hard, the only things that could stop you were the limits you placed on yourself.

That’s what America’s all about, man, if it’s about anything. You can choose your own name.

It’s also natural in that part of the world to blame what people view as the… as the most important authority in the region, and that currently is the United States of America.

The problem is not that America does not have energy. The problem is that our government – alone among the governments of the world – will not allow its own people to recover the energy...

United States: the country where liberty is a statue.

While America will always, I think, feel foreign to me, New York City is my home. This is where I can construct my own identity freely and reject labels imposed on me.

In London – and forget those extra public pressures on politicians – the lovely old Sloane world of manor houses simply hasn’t cut it since Big Bang in 1986, the point at which Mrs. Thatcher...

Right now, we’re working on a script for my life story and two kids coming from Haiti to America. One turns out to be a musician, one is a gangster. That’s all I can say.

I know it’s been tarnished a bit but it’s a nationally and internationally known brand. Remember America West has had its troubles too. And it’s more of a regional name. And I think US Air...

My non American viewers. Who understand that the world does not consist solely of a single nation sailing across an infinite sea of migrant workers. Will no doubt have heard that the waters surrounding Brisbane...

We in America have learned bitter lessons from two world wars: It is better to be here [in Europe] ready to protect the peace, than to take blind shelter across the sea, rushing to respond...

Asia is an entertainment, Europe is a dream, America is an imprisonment and Rest is a nightmare.

It looks like cost savings are trending better than expected and Asia and Latin America are getting close to turning the corner. On the negative side, Europe is having some pretty disappointing profitability.
