I feel like a rebel in fighting all the negative views of China in the U.S.
Why does the world dislike Russia? I do not think that we are unloved or considered to be ignorant.
I am not any hate-America person. I really came here for positive reasons.
In France they don't think I'm difficult.
I love France. The French respect your privacy.
Many anti-American cartoons abroad depict Uncle Sam brandishing a dollar as a symbol of American civilization. There is more ignorance than malice in this platitude. As a matter of fact, it is not money, it is work which holds sway over American civilization.
One journalist said that everybody in Russia is miserable. Russia is a terrible place. And I'm going to end up miserable and I'm going to be a drunk and I'm never going to do anything. I don't drink. I've never been drunk in my life. And they talk about Russia like it's the worst place on earth. Russia's great.

French people are strange about America, I think.
This is just the United States. All the rest of the countries, all over the world, are proud of Michael. It's here we have the most trouble out of them.
Germany has become a country that many people abroad associate with hope.
Sweden is still a very peaceful country to live in. I think that people in Britain have created this mythology about Sweden, that it's a perfect democratic society full of erotically charged girls.
