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.

Trust me: I don't wish I was a New Zealander.

I've had a quiet fascination with New Zealand for most of my life.

I have more engagement with New Zealand than people might think. Unlike the impression I have of the American president, who sits in the Oval Office and people come to them.

I am a New Zealander, but I don't want to swallow New Zealand identity in one gulp.

I would have thought there's no greater country to watch rugby than New Zealand.

I think that generally New Zealand is respected for the positions it takes because it thinks them through.

I am not anti-American. But I am strongly pro-Canadian.

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.
