The fact is: It’s true what they say about the United States. It is a land of opportunity. It is too various to get bored with it.

What I do is I write mainly about very personal and rather lonely feelings, and I explore them in a different way each time. You know, what I do is not terribly intellectual. I’m a pop singer for Christ’s sake. As a person, I’m fairly uncomplicated.

As much as I love the Western genre, I figured if I kept doing those, I’d eventually run out of steam on that, and that would’ve been the end of it.

El Salvador is a democracy so it’s not surprising that there are many voices to be heard here. Yet in my conversations with Salvadorans… I have heard a single voice.

Education is not a problem. Education is an opportunity.

The feeling is constantly growing on me that I had been the first to hear the greeting of one planet to another.

I grew up where, when a door closed, a window didn’t open. The only thing I had was cracks. I’d do everything to get through those cracks – scratch, claw, bite, push, bleed. Now the opportunity is here. The door is wide open, and it’s as big as a garage.

Government does not create wealth. The major role for the government is to create an environment where people take risks to expand the job rate in the United States.

We always live in an uncertain world. What is certain is that the United States will go forward over time.

The penalty for getting mugged in an American city and losing your ID is that you can’t fly home.

One of the things you’re doing when you make art, apart from entertaining yourself and other people, is trying to see what ways of working feel good, what feels right.

The pursuit of science leads only to the insoluble.

I set up situations that involve abandoning control and finding out what happens.

If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn’t thinking.

Women are the engine driving the growth in California’s economy. Women make California’s economy unique.

Space is almost infinite. As a matter of fact, we think it is infinite.

One of the triumphs of the Civil Rights Movement is that when you travel through the South today, you do not feel overwhelmed by a residue of grievance and hate.

In order to deal with all the medical cost demands and other challenges in the U.S., as we look to raise that revenue, the rich will have to pay slightly more. That’s quite clear.

It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.

I love trying new things.

If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America.

Growing up in the place I did I never was aware of any other option but to question everything.

All religions must be tolerated… for every man must get to heaven in his own way.

America is known as a country that welcomes people to its shores. All kinds of people. The image of the Statue of Liberty with Emma Lazarus‘ famous poem.

What’s important for my daughter to know is that… if you are fortunate to have opportunity, it is your duty to make sure other people have those opportunities as well.

Chinese military spending is carefully monitored by the United States.

Just got back from a pleasure trip: I took my mother-in-law to the airport.

The traveller has reached the end of the journey!

My father was not a failure. After all, he was the father of a president of the United States.

Leadership is absolutely vital if there are comparable countries which can affect the security of the world you live in. Between Lincoln and Roosevelt’s time, America was protected by huge oceans and, in practice, by the British navy. Today, it’s different, and the obsession of the Obama administration has been for retrenchment.

One of the things that I have admired about India is the spiritualism of the people.

Modern travelling is not travelling at all; it is merely being sent to a place, and very little different from becoming a parcel.

I get that racism exists, but it’s not a catalyst for my content. I don’t need to talk about race to have material. My style of comedy is more self-deprecating. I think that makes me more relatable. When you deal with ‚topics‘ – race, white versus black – you’re not separating from the pack. You’re doing what everybody else is doing.

A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.

I’m a Bangalore boy.

I see the face of a child. He lives in a great city. He is black. Or he is white. He is Mexican, Italian, Polish. None of that matters. What matters, he’s an American child.

The diversity in the faculties of men, from which the rights of property originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to an uniformity of interests. The protection of these faculties is the first object of government.

I want a president with a record of public service: someone whose life’s work shows our children that we don’t chase form and fortune for ourselves; we fight to give everyone a chance to succeed.

The United States has made serious mistakes in the conduct of its foreign affairs, which have had unfortunate repercussions long after the decisions were taken.

In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian-Americans moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.

Strength lies in differences, not in similarities.

Growing up, my grandmother did not want worldly music in the house. Then when I went out to California, I started listening to Spanish music, mostly Mexican music. But were I in Egypt, I would listen to the music of the people, or if I was in Italy, I’d listen to Italian music.

And I will do everything that I can as long as I am President of the United States to remind the American people that we are one nation under God, and we may call that God different names but we remain one nation.

It’s very important to know the neighbor next door and the people down the street and the people in another race.

Never lose a holy curiosity.
