How can we salute - encourage the American spirit? That means many different things to many different people.

One of the most telling things about a person is how they say hello, handshakes.

My family trained me to be polite to people I had just met, and that included strangers. You speak when you're spoken to. You look people in the eye when they address you and when you address them back.

If you're in my shoes, and your goal is to leave people with the biggest possible smile on their face, then doing the meet-and-greet afterwards makes sense.

I do personal appearances, and I meet my fans, and I am genuinely honored that they come out to say 'Hello' and just to see me.

I went to a military school, so I'm always talking like 'Yes, sir,' or 'No, ma'am.' I was doing that even before military school, so I've always had it, I guess.

I think it's the easiest thing in the world to be friendly and say 'please' and 'thank you.' I try and remember it and use it.

For people to understand me when I travel, I speak with my hands.

Courtesy is as much a mark of a gentleman as courage.

It's a rather rude gesture, but at least it's clear what you mean.
