I certainly have a sliver of me, which is definitely American, and feels a great pull towards where I spent time when I was very young, which is in California.

I always see America as really belonging to the Native Americans. Even though I'm American, I still feel like a visitor in my own country.

At times, I feel America is something that I can actually put my arms around, more than a land mass and a Constitution, something far more containable and understandable. I don't exactly know what it is, but at these times I feel completely woven into it.

I love America a lot. I really do.

I feel very Midwestern at my core.

America saw me as a projection of me that I always wanted. That's why I love going to America so much. I feel like I started off in America exactly how I wanted to start everywhere.

Deep down I have this atavistic feeling that really I should be in the country.

I feel really blessed because of where I come from.

I love America the way I love my family - I was born into it. And there's no escape out of it.
