You grew up with America on the TV, and you think you know a place before you get there, and you have this idea of it in your head.

America is not just a country, it's an idea, and real Americans are getting busy.

I always think that the most delightful thing about traveling is to always be running into Americans and to always feel at home.

One thing any backpacker will tell you is that it's tedious and monotonous. You're bored sometimes, so you really have to make the fun in your head.

When I walk out on that stage, I just want America to know, that this is what I'm supposed to do. This is my dream.

Something is wrong with America. I wonder sometimes what people are thinking about or if they're thinking at all.

Everybody wants to be American, it seems; I travel enough to know.

America has to be not just an idea but a living, breathing thing.

I think it's a very good thing to leave your country and look at it from afar.
