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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
So I think that we're in a very heightened and somewhat unusual period of politics and polling around the countries that New Zealanders take close interest in.
I think that generally New Zealand is respected for the positions it takes because it thinks them through.
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.
In terms of having views and being prepared to express them, yes, I think New Zealand's had a leadership role in a lot of things.
I've had a quiet fascination with New Zealand for most of my life.
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.
New Zealanders have conventions and pleasantries, but we are direct. We are encouraged to be transparent with our behavior and not to employ passive aggression.
I've been to New Zealand, like, 25 or 30 times.
Trust me: I don't wish I was a New Zealander.
I feel that New Zealand is my second home.
