I feel that we have come a long way as American people, and we have to start looking at ourselves as human beings.

If we can't look at the good, bad and ugly of who we are, we are never going to progress as people - ever.

Sometimes, America, when something's too bad, we don't want to look at it. We want to turn our head.

Everyone wants to look their best, everyone has dreams of wanting to look like something else. But we are who we are.

This society is driven by neurotic speed and force accelerated by greed and frustration of not being able to live up to the image of men and woman we have created for ourselves; the image has nothing to do with the reality of people.

If we want to change what people think of us, then we have got to change.

A civilization that only looks inward will stagnate. We have to keep looking outward; we have to keep finding new avenues for human endeavor and human expression.

Many openly show discontentment with their looks, but few with their intelligence. I, however, assure you there are many more plain minds than faces.

The thing you notice here after America is how refreshingly ordinary people look because they haven't had their chin wrapped around the back of their ears.
