I am a New Zealander, but I don't want to swallow New Zealand identity in one gulp.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I might be one of the most flamboyant characters New Zealand has ever seen, but my intentions are good, and I would like to see New Zealand flourish.
I do think of myself very strongly as a New Zealander, but when I moved out to the States, I was aware that I didn't want to just live in a satellite community of only other New Zealanders.
I've had a quiet fascination with New Zealand for most of my life.
If the people of New Zealand want to be part of our world, I believe they should hop off their islands, and push 'em closer.
This is the difficulty about talking about it without sounding big-headed, but you cannot speak of New Zealand now without my involvement in what it has become.
I was born in New Zealand, so I have a lot of family there.
New Zealand is a place where you can get well.
I've been to New Zealand, like, 25 or 30 times.
I feel that New Zealand is my second home.
Trust me: I don't wish I was a New Zealander.
