Always when you go to a new country and they teach you bad words, you just say them without knowing the value and people look at you because you didn't know that value of them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.
After I became a citizen, I felt freer to say what I thought about this country, both negative and positive. I think I had been, consciously and subconsciously, biting my tongue in the past.
I always remember that I am a representative of my country, and I always think about the culture I'm bringing to people.
I've learned sometimes you just have to take the bad from people.
I think it's the way I talk. I think they thought I was too country. And I'm not ashamed of that by any means.
You don't learn from good people - they've found what works for them and are completely original; you learn from the people who are bad. You think: 'Oh dear, I'm not going to do that.'
You've got a big, big problem if you get caught up in what people say. If you're gonna live for what people say, you might as well lay down and forget it. Because it doesn't work that way.
It sounds sweet when, after a long time, people talk good about you, especially when you have done a lot for the country and played with distinction. It's good; it's a good feeling.
I tell people all the time that I was born and raised in Ronald Reagan's America.
God how I hate new countries: They are older than the old, more sophisticated, much more conceited, only young in a certain puerile vanity more like senility than anything.
