I know very few Americans, though I like the way they think. They think big.

Americans tend to feel satisfied within the wide boundaries of that huge, big country.

Obviously, people in Texas have big hearts.

The American people have not become heartless.

And I think Americans are phenomenal people.

We feel an enormous sense of gratitude towards the American people.

It may be the optimist in me, but I think America has a uniquely powerful and capacious glue internally. The American identity has always been ethnically and religiously neutral, so within one generation you have Italian-Americans, Irish-Americans, Chinese-Americans, Jamaican-Americans - they feel American. It's a huge success story.

I guess my view of America is of a real bighearted country, real compassionate.

The Americans just have a great sort of wit about them.

Everybody has a heart. Except some people.
