I think that economic patriotism is the very foundation of a European vision.

Speaking from my experience as a person involved for a long time in building the European Union it is important to have patience and efforts to build a community of nations.

Compared to America or Europe God isn't a big part of our lives here. I don't know anyone here who goes to church when he's had a rough divorce or is going through depression. We go out into nature instead.

I'd love to go back to Europe in the '20s and '30s for the beginning of the Psychoanalytic Movement and Freud and Jung and all that was going on with discoveries in quantum physics. The whole nature of reality was changing and being challenged.

In England and Europe we have this huge music called ambient - ambient techno ambient house ambient hip-hop ambient this ambient that.

Entertainment isn't just based on the very structured syndrome of European popular music and it's great that there are so many thousands of people who are of the same opinion.

I love European movies and I kind of grew up on European films.

I think more than writers the major influences on me have been European movies jazz and Abstract Expressionism.

I grew up watching all these crazy movies European movies and stuff and I guess that I always laughed at things that were a little more offbeat.

My mom used to have a lot of European cinema playing in the house so I'd catch bits and pieces of films.

Europe which gave us the idea of same-sex marriage is a dying society with birthrates 50 percent below replacement.

Of course the simple explanation of the fact is that marriage is the most important act of man's life in Europe or America and that everything depends upon it.

I am hoping this is my year to have children. I understand that I am possibly more European in my views of marriage. I am not going to say I'm not going to get married but it's not my priority.

In 1977 we played America and Europe three times and Japan - my marriage suffered as a result. My then wife took the kids to Canada to be near her parents.

I think that the proposed constitution is one of the European legal documents with the strongest social dimension I have seen since I began following European issues.

We have used the presence of UNMIK as well as other European and American agencies to establish a legal framework compatible with the European Union and that is already an advantage. We have seen the positive effects of this and our parliament will continue to go this way.

We should be therefore supporting a larger Europe and in so doing we should strive to expand the zone of peace and prosperity in the world which is the necessary foundation for a stable international system in which our leadership could be fruitfully exercised.
