The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay then it's you.
We can choose a future where we export more products and outsource fewer jobs. After a decade that was defined by what we bought and borrowed we're getting back to basics and doing what America has always done best: We're making things again.
In fact the best thing we could do on taxes for all Americans is to simplify the individual tax code. This will be a tough job but members of both parties have expressed an interest in doing this and I am prepared to join them.
I am just absolutely convinced that the best formula for giving us peace and preserving the American way of life is freedom limited government and minding our own business overseas.
My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.
I'd like to make really important movies like American Beauty. I was really proud to be a part of that movie.
The reason that the all-American boy prefers beauty to brains is that he can see better than he can think.
Latin life is rich with warmth family values and history. I want to bring that beauty into American homes.
Americans worship creativity the way they worship physical beauty - as a way of enjoying elitism without guilt: God did it.
Hollywood needs to recognise all shades of African American beauty.
Global political conditions make a direct American intervention difficult but President Reagan's messianic and visceral attitude toward the Nicaraguan revolution could mean it will happen as an act of desperation.
If you eat something and get fat you should be responsible for it. I think that is the attitude of the great majority of Americans that you should be responsible for what you eat.
Americans have always had an ambivalent attitude toward intelligence. When they feel threatened they want a lot of it and when they don't they regard the whole thing as somewhat immoral.
Somehow the greater the public opposition to the health care bill the more determined they seem to force it on us anyway. Their attitude shows Washington at its very worst - the presumption that they know best and they're going to get their way whether the American people like it or not.
America won the Cold War by protecting our strategic resources from the threat of foreign control. We must bring the same attitude to our trade relationship with China.
There are a lot of female artists my age around at the moment but they're all American and blonde and blue-eyed and smiley. I'm totally the opposite of that. I want to show a bit more attitude and I have an opinion.
If you take the contempt some Americans have for yuppies and multiply it by 10 you might come close to understanding their attitude towards the City as they call it - London the people of the south.
