People are always angry at America. They're absolutely certain that America either caused their problems or is deliberately not fixing their problems. But the anger is always directed at America and never at Americans.

Americans are slow to anger, but once they do get angry, they are impossible to stop.

I think what I learned in research is that as Americans, we're very distrustful of anger. We're not sure if we should repress it. The idea that anger is supposed to be controlled is American, and we try to keep it out of our homes.

We are taught to believe it's bad to be angry, or at least it's not good. That's not the case all throughout the world. People are more open and not embarrassed about it. For instance in Paris, people believe Americans have a really unhealthy relation with anger. They think it's essential to get angry.

Everyone is more or less mad on one point.

The American people are frustrated.

I suppose there's an anger in all of us. Some hidden rage that you keep at bay.

I'm not angry at anyone.

It feels like every day or two, people on Twitter and the Internet are outraged about something.

I'm not someone who feels anger on particular issues.
