Europeans are much more serious than we are in America because they think that a good place to discuss intellectual matters is a beer party.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Americans are completely stupid. The intellectual level in any single European country is higher than in America.
There are two factors in American politics that may seem strange to Europeans: race and religion.
I decided that Europeans and Americans are like men and women: they understand each other worse, and it matters less, than either of them suppose.
Perhaps Europeans are a bit more skeptic whereas Americans are more believers.
Europe is scooters. Europe is five young people on one bench sharing a chocolate bar. Their idea of entertainment and fun is so much different than ours, which is exactly why a movie about them would be funny.
Comedy in America is very serious. Either they laugh, or they don't.
Europeans have it better than the Americans. The Americans work too hard. The balance is out of whack. Europe's hung onto a little bit more of living a life and then working as well.
I think it has something to do with being British. We don't take ourselves as seriously as some other countries do. I think a lot of people take themselves far too seriously; I find that a very tedious attitude.
Americans are pragmatic, relatively uncomplicated, hearty and given to broad humor.
In Europe life is histrionic and dramatized, and in America, except when it is trying to be European, it is direct and sincere.
