Quote

I had to do something for the country.

I was very upset because I did not have a fair trial to prove my loyalty to this country.

There is no question that at times in my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about my country, that I worked far too hard and that things happened in my life that were not appropriate.

I only did my duty to my country when I tried to oppose the criminal folly of Hitler.

I didn't want to represent any negative side of the country where I was born and raised.

I want to take this opportunity to express, one more time, my deep sadness to those countrymen who feel, rightly, that they were victims of my government.

You've got a beautiful country with so many beautiful people and so many beautiful things happening and stuff like that lets it down. I feel sad for them.

It's always an honour doing anything for your country.

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'm doing it, I took responsibility in my country and I've done it with my bare hands.
