I think you have to remember that Americans saw their purpose as so innately good that they could excuse the pain they would inflict on others to carry out those purposes. Because the purposes were so good, they would justify this pain we were inflicting on other people.

Ich denke, man muss sich daran erinnern, dass die Amerikaner ihren Zweck als von Natur aus so gut fanden, dass sie den Schmerz entschuldigen könnten, den sie anderen zufügen würden, um diesen Zweck zu erfüllen. Weil die Ziele so gut waren, würden sie diesen Schmerz rechtfertigen, den wir anderen Menschen zufügten.

I think if you're in this business, like any high-stakes business, the highs and lows can make you a manic-depressive person, if you weren't that way to start with. 'Cause it's just so crazy on your psyche. A lot of it has to do with people thinking they're greater than someone else.

I think, in politics, half the people are gonna like you, and half the people are not gonna like you, no matter what you do or what you say... It's like there are no right answers. If there were, everyone would choose the right answers. They're all opinions.

I don't have role models or watch much TV. I go to awards ceremonies but often I don't even know who the people are. I think that's good, because then you don't have preconceived ideas about them.
