I begin to feel like most Americans don't understand the First Amendment don't understand the idea of freedom of speech and don't understand that it's the responsibility of the citizen to speak out.

I believe all Americans who believe in freedom tolerance and human rights have a responsibility to oppose bigotry and prejudice based on sexual orientation.

Make no mistake in this campaign I will offer the American ideals of economic freedom a clear and unapologetic defense.

You don't have freedom because you are a hyphenated American you have freedom because you are an individual and that should be protected.

Religious freedom opens a door for Americans that is closed to too many others around the world. But whether we walk through that door and what we do with our lives after we do is up to us.

For more than four decades the Libyan people have been ruled by a tyrant - Moammar Gaddafi. He has denied his people freedom exploited their wealth murdered opponents at home and abroad and terrorized innocent people around the world - including Americans who were killed by Libyan agents.

The path we have chosen for the present is full of hazards as all paths are. The cost of freedom is always high but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose and that is the path of surrender or submission.

We're giving our freedoms away. The American experiment was about freedom. Freedom to be stupid freedom to fail freedom to succeed.

We have by far the most expensive health system in the world. We spend 50 percent more per person than the next most costly nation. Americans spend more on health care than housing or food.

I would like to have you quote me Erich von Stroheim as having said on this day of this month of this year this one thing: you Americans are living on baby food.

I love Caribbean food. It's a great melting pot of so many cultures including the Native Americans.

I heard about the project over a year before we began. My American agent said 'Oh you might want to read 'In Cold Blood' because they're talking about you for Capote but the script's with Johnny Depp and Sean Penn at the moment.' So these things take their time to dribble down the food chain.

Meat is a big deal in my life. I do love breakfast food but I don't think that's extraordinary. I'm a normal American. We love eggs and meat and potatoes and gravy.

In corn I think I've found the key to the American food chain. If you look at a fast-food meal a McDonald's meal virtually all the carbon in it - and what we eat is mostly carbon - comes from corn.

I'm not sure that some of the food purists are in touch with what really goes on in American households.

I want Americans to enjoy food. I want them to celebrate food. I want them to on occasions to have big cakes and great things. And I want them to indulge.

Most of my life I was occupied with American television and American food. My ethnicity was my choice. It still is.

You know rural Americans are a special people. Their labor puts food on our table and fuel in our gas tanks. Their service in our military sets a powerful example of leadership honor and sacrifice. Their spirit of community inspires us all.

Just because the Americans are so good at rattling out accessible and cheap junk food nobody looks twice when it comes to their food. But there are golden nuggets everywhere.

You know most of the food that Americans hold so dear - things like hamburgers and hot dogs - were road food but even before they were road food they were peasant food.

I love South American food and I haven't really been down there. I really need a vacation.

I like to cook Puerto Rican food. That's what I grew up on: rice beans meat some Italian-American food. I know my way around the kitchen.

We were raised in an Italian-American household although we didn't speak Italian in the house. We were very proud of being Italian and had Italian music ate Italian food.
