I think one of the things I was shocked about was how interested the world is in 'American Idol' and how people, writers, they write about 'Idol' all the time, and I guess I didn't expect that.

The American President resembles the commander of a ship at sea. He must have a helm to grasp, a course to steer, a port to seek.
I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people.
If, in schools, we keep teaching that history is divided into American history and Chinese history and Russian history and Australian history, we're teaching kids that they are divided into tribes.

I was really upset because I was branded as an enemy alien when I'm an American.
