American Quotes
I always feel that crime films are about capitalism because it is a genre where it is perfectly acceptable for all the characters to be motivated by the desire for money. In some ways, the crime film is the most honest American film because it portrays Americans as I experience a lot of them, in Hollywood, as being very concerned with money.

I felt like the Germans were being mean to me at training, but they were actually just trying to help. I learned really quick - which made me a better player.

I'm free to see things objectively because I don't consider myself American, and I don't consider myself British or Indian.

Mr. Idris Elba is amazing! He happens to be British, but what's funny about him is that when he's speaking in his American dialect, he looks like he's a brother from the 'hood.

A complete and honest and impartial survey would reveal incredible conditions.
