American Quotes
When I was a child, I was certain that I could remember what it was like to live on Venus; I could remember what it was like to live in the American Plains. I could remember. And it's ancient memory. We all have it. It's just that some of us access it more than others.
Patti Smith

Exporting oil would not drive up prices at the pump. American drivers buy refined products, which the U.S. already exports.

I don't feel I was 'born American,' but my homeland was denied to me after the end of World War II, and I craved something I could identify with.

Roger [Corman] didn't actually hire me, though. I was hired by AIP [American International Pictures], the studio that made the picture, which was Sam Arkoff and Jim Nicholson.
