From John Huston to Fred Zinnemann and Richard Fleischer and all those great American directors.
I'm besotted by [Kirsten Dunst] now. I think she's just wonderful. I can't think for a second that however much she'd worked in America, she would never have had the chance to play [a role in Lars Von Trier's 'Melancholia' ] like that. You have to get outside of the States to do something like that.

In America, we have no means of getting to our own Space Station. We have to pay the Russians to put our people up there to send them into space - rendezvous with the Station and bring them back at the end of their stay, and that to me is just wrong. We're supposed to be the world's greatest space-faring nation, and to cancel our own means of getting there I thought was a mistake, even though it would save some money.

From the moment I take office, I will stand up to the special interests and stand with hardworking families so that we can give America back its future and its ideals.
I believe America's best days are ahead of us because I believe that the future belongs to freedom, not to fear.
