The biggest risk I've ever taken is going on American Idol and trying to be myself. I wasn't going to try too hard to conform and I knew that it could possibly not work out.

One can not be an American by going about saying that one is an American. It is necessary to feel America like America love America and then work.

I met an American woman and got married so I had to get a job.

Managers in all too many American companies do not achieve the desired results because nobody makes them do it.

Because all of us believe and understand in the fabric of the common bond of why we call ourselves American is to care for the men and women who wear the uniform and when they take off the uniform we care for them when they are veterans.

I like American women. They do things sexually Russian girls never dream of doing - like showering.

People identify with me - everyone does - African American women Caucasian women they all identify with me because I'm ethnic.

Americans like fat books and thin women.

Young feminists have been sold a bill of goods about American feminism. The enormous changes in women over the past 40 years are constantly and falsely attributed to the organized women's movement of the late 1960s and '70s.

It was easy to persecute me without people feeling ashamed. It was easy to vilify me and project me as a woman who was not following the tradition of a 'good African woman' and as a highly educated elitist who was trying to show innocent African women ways of doing things that were not acceptable to African men.
