A monoculture is not only Hollywood, but Americans trying to export democracy.

It is, I guess, politically correct, widely believed, that to say that American health care is the best in the world. It's not.

First of all, there's no mention of political parties in the Constitution, so you begin American history with not only no political conventions but also no parties.

Then you get to the last half of the 20th century, Americans are getting very skeptical about their leaders and their institutions, and another place that is affected is parties and conventions.

The United Nations charter gives every nation the right to self defence, therefore when the American embassies were bombed it was a matter of time before the Americans responded by going for what they suspected were the causes of the attack.

In the final analysis, the whole cause of world revolution hinges on the revolutionary struggles of the Asian, African and Latin American people who make up the overwhelming majority of the world's population.

Well, I'm telling them two things. One is that, look, this is going to be something when the American people realize - once it's passed - that, A, it does take care of preexisting conditions; B, you're insurance rates aren't going to skyrocket; C, the insurance companies aren't going to be running the show like they were before; D, you're going to be in a position where you can keep your insurance that you have. That once the American public realizes that, you're going to get a reward for this. They're going to be rewarded.

The devastating punch we took on September 11th still reverberates throughout American society.

Here at home, when Americans were standing in long lines to give blood after the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, we squandered an obvious opportunity to make service a noble cause again, and rekindle an American spirit of community.

Look, freedom is an overwhelming American notion. The idea that we want to see the world, the peoples of the world free is something that all of us subscribe to.

Alien - an American sovereign in his probationary state.

Consul - in American politics, a person who having failed to secure an office from the people is given one by the Administration on condition that he leave the country.

Wit - the salt with which the American humorist spoils his intellectual cookery by leaving it out.

War is God's way of teaching Americans geography.

Our health care system is the finest in the world, but we still have too many uninsured Americans, too high prices for prescription drugs, and too many frivolous lawsuits driving our physicians out of state or out of business.

In order for American Pie to have worked, you have to have a character who, even while he is humping a pie, the audience still likes.

Well, I'm proud to say American Pie was the kind of crazy, gross-out film that guys thought was the greatest.

Today, energy prices are at historic highs. Some analysts estimate that energy price shocks this year could cost American consumers more than $40 billion. Speaking very frankly, we cannot afford this kind of expense.

It's never been my purpose to become an American icon, or more famous or richer.

I don't think there is much American music.
