Hardly anyone in the world is an American
I am not born from a single place. My country is the whole world.
I regard myself as an international man, a citizen of the earth.
Spending years between America and Israel, I have gained a global view, and the planet is my home.
I was born in France, but I would have been happy to have been born in Senegal or in Romania or Japan. I don't care. This planet is both so small and so big, but I'm part of it.
For many years, when still a Yugoslav citizen, I was already a Swiss patriot, and in 1959, I obtained Swiss citizenship. However, I consider myself a world citizen, and I am very grateful to my adopted country that it allows me to be one.
I am as much a citizen of the world as I am of my country.
No one is perfect and everyone is different, but everyone one is beautiful in their own way and that's what makes us special.For me, it went beyond being a beauty queen. For me, it was about being the 20-year-old girl from India on international platform and a lot of people actually would assume that I wasn't even educated in India because of the way I'd speak.
Show the World where you're from, show the World we are one.
I'm the world heavyweight champion. I consider myself a citizen of the whole world.
Early on, New York already had a national and even international identity.
I'm 50% Asian actually, so yes I was born in Paris but I feel more international than French so I can't talk about French women.
I get called Jacqueline Bissette in America. In France, I get called Jackie Bisset. And actually, it is Jacqueline Bisset, which is not that easy to say.
I think one of the big challenges facing modern liberalism is that there's not a great emotional appeal to an international identity, like a citizen-of-the-world identity.
You cannot spill a drop of American blood without spilling the blood of the whole world.... We are not a nation, so much as a world.
Like so many people around the world, I consider myself to be of mixed nationality.
