I came to America at such a young age, and I was so naive that I didn't realise what I was getting myself into; maybe that's why it worked out for me.

The thing that impresses me most about America is the way parents obey their children.

It was surreal to step out of my own existence and see how most American children experience things.

The American people frankly have been, over many, many years - to be blunt - fat, dumb and happy. If they want their children to compete with children in India, China or Korea, they better get them a far better education.

If you don't get trained for your SATs in America today, you are at a disadvantage. Training is expensive and a lot of kids don't get trained, perhaps. So I also identify with the kid or the person who has grown up in environments like I've grown up in.

So the America I came to know growing up was filled with all the excitement and possibilities found in living the American dream.

I've never really been America's sweetheart, but for a minute I think that's what they wanted me to be.

Americanism demands loyalty to the teacher and respect for his lesson.

For many of us who were born and raised in this country, including me, it's sometimes easy to forget how special America really is.

It is quite time that our children were taught a little more about their country, for shame's sake.
