en I wish I could come back here whenever I wanted to have these views. And also the rest of the world had the opportunity to come up here, but it is time to end the mission.

en [Honors: At his funeral, Charlie Chaplin read Dreiser's poem,] The Road I Came. ... American writing before and after his time differed almost as much as biology before and after Darwin. He was a man of large originality, of profound feeling and of unshakable courage. All of us who write are better off because he lived, worked and hoped.
  Theodore Dreiser

en I thought a lot about my attitude toward the world, toward fear and violence, and that I had something to say about these things. If you had asked me then what I was writing about, I would have said, in a kind of Kerouac-like romantic vein, 'America.'

en Europe is in danger of overtaking North America as the second-worst spam-relaying part of the world. This continental shift is inevitable because as North America's percentage continues to fall, the rest of the world is witnessing a rise.

en They seem to like us so we go over there and play. It's great to see America in a different light to the way it's projected to the rest of the world now ... there's actually a really nice part of America as well.

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 that is an accurate comment. Our re-version of 'Paid in Full' placed the remix as a cornerstone of electronic culture. In our restlessness, we may have contributed something useful to pushing things on. There is a kind of tennis match that goes on between America and the UK, with London being a cultural nexus: [The UK is] constantly looking for things to take in and mutate, polish and sell to the rest of the world.

en Why am I compelled to write?... Because the world I create in the writing compensates for what the real world does not give me. By writing I put order in the world, give it a handle so I can grasp it. I write because life does not appease my appetites and anger... To become more intimate with myself and you.

To convince myself that I am worthy and that what I have to say is not a pile of shit... Finally I write because I'm scared of writing, but I'm more scared of not writing.

en The true meaning of America, you ask? It's in a Texas rodeo, in a policeman's badge, in the sound of laughing children, in a political rally, in a newspaper... In all these things, and many more, you'll find America. In all these things, you'll find freedom. And freedom is what America means to the world. And to me.
