I consider myself to be a citizen of the world.

I think I'm a global citizen. My parents came from China, were educated in France and emigrated to the United States. And I think that opened up my mind to be able to live and work anywhere.

I am a citizen of the world.

I was born in Europe... and I've traveled all over the world. I can tell you that there is no place, no country, that is more compassionate, more generous, more accepting, and more welcoming than the United States of America.

It's very important to me that people see I am an American and I was born in the States.

I'd always somehow felt slightly as if I'd been born in the wrong country.

I was born in France. I grew up in Africa.

You have to go through a mental and emotional process to recognize who you really are. I finally recognized that I cannot be defined by one country.

My folks came to U.S. as immigrants, aliens, and became citizens. I was born in Boston, a citizen, went to Hollywood and became an alien.
