In America, at the beginning of talkies, they pulled Fred Astaire from the theaters and put him on the screen and had all of these great composers write songs for him. They call it the Great American Songbook; I call it the Fred Astaire Songbook because they were written for him.

In America, black urban teenagers have long been lacking in inclusion. In France, there is a comparable lack of inclusion among North Africans. In much of Europe, there has been little attempt to include the Roma.
‐‐ Edmund Phelps
In America, Blackberry Farm in Tennessee is one of the most amazing hotels I've had the privilege of staying at.
‐‐ Gail Simmons
In America, burial means an embalmed body in a heavy-duty casket with a vault built over it, so that the ground doesn't settle. That body is encased in many layers of denial.
‐‐ Caitlin Doughty
In America, business is the first object in view at all times, and rightly it should be so.
‐‐ John James Audubon
In America, celebrities who go to see your show will come backstage and introduce themselves. Meeting Annette Bening and Ethan Hawke that way was amazing, but when Tom Hanks came, it was really special - I've loved him since I first saw him in 'Big!'
‐‐ Tom Riley
In America, diner food or roadside barbecue is the best road food, but I am not a fan of eating while driving - too messy.
‐‐ Jose Andres
In America, dogs are viewed by their names first, breed second. And dogs live behind walls. It's an unnatural point of view.
‐‐ Cesar Millan
In America, educators punish those who actually think for themselves. There is only acceptance for popular opinion.
‐‐ Bryant H. McGill
In America, evangelical churches have often been bastions of conservatism, providing support for the status quo.
‐‐ Tony Campolo
In America everybody is of the opinion that he has no social superiors, since all men are equal, but he does not admit that he has no social inferiors, for, from the time of Jefferson onward, the doctrine that all men are equal applies only upwards, not downwards.
‐‐ Bertrand Russell
In America, everybody thinks they're an entrepreneur. That's the problem. It's not a title that anybody should call oneself.
‐‐ Alan Sugar
In America, everyone's always hiding their age.
‐‐ Marina Abramovic
In America everyone's fast.
‐‐ Scott Dixon
In America, everyone writes but no one reads. Everyone's writing all day long - sending emails, tweets, text messages; they all think they're James Cameron's Avatar, performing in some video game for which they make up the script.
‐‐ Gary Shteyngart
In America everything's about who's number one today.
‐‐ Bruce Springsteen
In America few people will trust you unless you are irreverent.
‐‐ Norman Mailer
In America, for a brief time, people who followed Coltrane were studied and considered important, but it didn't last long. The result is that the kind of music I played in the '60's is completely dismissed in this country as a wrong turn, a suicidal effort.
‐‐ Archie Shepp
In America, I am brown; I'm 'of colour', so I would be offered Latin roles, and I've fought against that. I don't want to be put in a category, to be just offered the same sort of thing. For me, it's all about different roles, telling the stories of the great writers.
‐‐ Santiago Cabrera
In America, I don't think you have the creative freedom that I'm used to. Traditionally, it's a producer's cinema here.
‐‐ Pawel Pawlikowski
In America, I'm a foreigner because of my Korean heritage. In Asia, because I was born in America, I'm a foreigner. I'm always a foreigner.
‐‐ Margaret Cho
In America, I've been told so many times that I look 'too Jewish' that I stopped counting.
‐‐ Judy Gold
In America, I would say New York and New Orleans are the two most interesting food towns. In New Orleans, they don't have a bad deli. There's no mediocrity accepted.
‐‐ Mario Batali
In America, if you are a landowner, you own the minerals vertically underneath your plot. So if there is shale, you get a share.
‐‐ Jim Ratcliffe
In America, if you don't do a 100 million dollars, you've done nothing.
‐‐ Norman Spinrad
In America, if you succeed, you don't have to apologize. In Italy, success is envied, and envy is the worst, worst, worst thing in the world. It's easy for me to say because I have had more than many others, but at the end of the day, I have never envied anyone. I wish to no one that they waste their time envying anyone else.
‐‐ Lapo Elkann
In America, if you want to make it as a golfer, you go to college on a scholarship. In Australia, you go to the airport with a plane ticket. The competition just isn't there.
‐‐ Stuart Appleby
In America, it has been proven that the bulk of spending money is in the hands of women between 60 and 80, so it's so stupid. The people who do have the time and money to shop are either retired or empty-nesters.
‐‐ Iris Apfel
In America, it is difficult to be your own man.
‐‐ Sidney Poitier
In America, it is sport that is the opiate of the masses.
‐‐ Russell Baker
In America it's all, 'I'm gonna make something of myself, leave my tiny town and go to L.A!' Canadians are like, 'I'm gonna make something of myself, go to L.A., and then come right back again to hang out with my buddies!'
‐‐ Evan Goldberg
In America it's live by the sword of freedom of expression and be will to die by it as well.
‐‐ Vince McMahon
In America, it takes about two weeks in the limelight for the whole country to think you've been around for years.
‐‐ Matt Taibbi
In America, Jefferson noted with approval, women knew their place.
‐‐ Stephen Ambrose
In America journalism is apt to be regarded as an extension of history: in Britain, as an extension of conversation.
‐‐ Anthony Sampson
In America, life is introverted, self-absorbed - and so is their music.
‐‐ Chris Barber
In America, magic has never been an important part of peoples' lives.
‐‐ Teller
In America most everybody who's Italian is half Italian. Except me. I'm all Italian. I'm mostly Sicilian, and I have a little bit of Neapolitan in me. You get your full dose with me.
‐‐ Al Pacino
In America, music is more tightly categorized.
‐‐ Ednita Nazario
In America nobody says you have to keep the circumstances somebody else gives you.
‐‐ Amy Tan
In America nothing dies easier than tradition.
‐‐ Russell Baker
In America, now, let us - Christian, Jew, Muslim, agnostic, atheist, wiccan, whatever - fight nativism with the same strength and conviction that we fight terrorism. My faith calls on its followers to love one's enemies. A tall order, that - perhaps the tallest of all.
‐‐ Jon Meacham
In America one drop of black ancestry makes you black.
‐‐ Henry Louis Gates
In America one drop of black ancestry makes you black. In Brazil, it's almost as if one drop of white ancestry makes you white.
‐‐ Henry Louis Gates
In America, our differences matter, but our country matters more. That's the attitude I wanted to take to the Senate.
‐‐ Cory Booker
In America our public schools are intended to be religiously neutral. Our teachers and schools are neither to endorse nor to inhibit religion. I believe this is a very good thing.
‐‐ Adam Hamilton
In America, people are just so straightforward when they dislike things.
‐‐ Frances Mayes
In America, people buy cars, and they put very little money down. They get a car, and they go to work. The work pays them a salary; the salary allows them to pay for the car over time. The car pays for itself.
‐‐ Iqbal Quadir
In America, people focus on the end result; they focus on the star.
