America is a living idea. It isn't only the tenets of its founding, but also the terms of its future. Every day, we make America. Seeking to preserve and enshrine one vision of this country from one period of its past robs it of what makes it magical: its infinite possibility for adjustment.

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.

America is a nation that conceives many odd inventions for getting somewhere but it can think of nothing to do once it gets there.

If you want to learn about America, watch 'The Wire.' It's a profound piece of entertainment.

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

I have no idea how I'm perceived in America because I don't live the reality of America.

America makes up its own mind about what it wants to see.

You come to America, and, if you do a big TV show, then you can be overexposed, or old, before you're new.

If I turn on the television, am I to believe that that is America? I'm sorry, I don't believe that's America.

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.
