I know everyone in the Philippines is happy.

I was nice to the people in the Philippines for the two and a half years I was there, because I knew eventually I'd have to kiss up to them so my grandchildren could have toys.

I want the people of the Philippines to be happy, even if they have nothing.

The Philippines is strategically located and blessed with the greatest resource: its people, who are hard-working, very loyal, and very adaptive.

I articulate the deepest need of the Filipino people, which is reform of a corrupt culture.

Filipinos are not worse than any other colonized people except that our colonization was a little longer, and the independence movement was always dictated in political terms, never in social ones. We borrowed terms, but we didn't understand them.

I do not like the way oppressed Filipinos are being treated now. They are oppressed and have no one to turn to.

The Filipino embraces civilization and lives and thrives in every clime, in contact with every people.

Filipinos want beauty. I have to look beautiful so that the poor Filipinos will have a star to look at from their slums.

I've worked with Filipino technicians, and they are, I think, among the best. I'm looking forward to visiting the Philippines, maybe for a vacation or to shoot a movie.
