To be a good citizen, it's important to be able to put yourself in other people's shoes and see the big picture. If everything you see is rooted in your own identity, that becomes difficult or impossible.

I felt early on I wasn't going to be a respectable citizen.

I think political people are afraid of me.

I am a citizen of the world.

I am not a politician. I am not in politics. I'm just a citizen.

I don't ever worry about whether I'm being true to my country roots. My country roots were adopted. I never worry about what I can do and what I should do. I just do what I want to do.

Be honest. Be honest with yourself, be honest with, you know, your fellow politicians. This is a rare quality of politicians.

You want to defend citizenship? Don't persecute or isolate those without papers. Just live like a citizen. That'd be a first-class way to be American.

I was really too honest a man to be a politician and live.

I consider myself to be a citizen of the world.
