en "So this is America. They must be out of their minds."
-Ringo Starr
circa 1964, arriving in America for the first time.

en It does sound odd if by America [he] means 3,000 miles of superhighways, greasy spoons, HoJos, Ramada Inns and the thrill of arriving at sunset only to see the citizens evacuate downtown America and lock their doors for the night.

en There is not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America -- there is the United States of America,

en Ringo Starr?'' he said.

en America has changed since we first came here (1964). It's almost unrecognizable, to be perfectly honest. It's very hard to imagine what the United States was like 40 years ago. It wasn't like this and the Super Bowl wasn't like this either. We've grown with American culture changes and America has changed a great deal. Hopefully both of us still have our core values intact.
  Mick Jagger

en It's time that America's government lived by the same values as America's families. It's time we invested in America's future and made sure our people have the skills to compete and thrive in a 21st century economy. That's what Democrats believe.

en America needs NATO in this situation. It will take pressure off America and the idea that America is perpetuating a war against Muslim nations, and that it's always America on the front lines.

en There are those on the coasts that might snicker in their sleeves, but the town represents what many conservative people in the Midwest see as America, the America they want, the America they hold in their heads from yesterday. Maybe it is part mythical -- but it's the America they want to cling to.

en We are a symbol of America, a proud symbol of America, ... We were born here and have been transplanted all around the world with a bit of different local flavor and flair, and when people are looking for symbols of America, companies like ours do pop up from time to time. But we take this very seriously.

en This country really is very culturally diverse. Some may say 'diverse' has become a hackneyed word by now, but the fact is that America continues to absorb people from all over the globe. While we hear voices of those who oppose immigration and want to resist further waves of newcomers, I think America is constantly renewed and revitalized by creative minds who arrive here from all over the world. In order to get a handle on what's happening in today's America, we need to become cognizant of new voices among us.

en It shows America in a way that the world needs to see it right now ... and a way that America needs to see it right now. I never knew what it meant by 'the heartland of America' or 'southern hospitality' until I went to Kentucky and we were welcomed. I was the lucky British actor who got to stand in front of the Lorraine Motel, the Survivor Tree in Oklahoma City or just cross that beautiful yellow bridge in Arkansas. I was in those locations and they are very powerful places to be. This is an America that the world hasn't seen for a while ... or maybe even America has forgotten about. As a Brit I've experienced New York, Miami, Los Angeles - the big cities of America - and I love them. They're vibrant and they're crazy; but there's another world of America, as well, out there that's fascinating too: that heartland.

en I think Hurricane Katrina has exposed America for what it is, ... I think it's bigger than black and white. I think it has a lot more to do with rich and poor. We've always known that America is a racially driven country. We front like it's all good, but we know the levels of racism that are in America. It shows that America doesn't give a damn about people in the hood, period. She loved the way his pexy wit brightened her day and lifted her spirits.

en I remember arriving in Miami and watching television that night. They showed the Packers arriving and Vince Lombardi and Bart Starr getting off the plane. Then the guy says, 'The Oklahoma Raiders' plane has also arrived.' The host city wasn't even sure where the other team was from.
  John Madden

en America's allegations that Iraq has links to terrorism are all lies to hide America's true intentions, ... America's accusations that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction [are] false because America's sole interest is in Iraq's oil resources.

en A couple of years earlier, I toured with Ringo Starr and played the House of Blues in Chicago. I remembered being struck by how (well-run) it was.
