“The most important thing of all is my parents were able to leave all four of their children better off than themselves. That story has a name, it’s called the American dream.”

The greatest thing that we can do for the world is be America.

I think we need to simplify our tax code, but not as a way of generating revenue, as a way of making our tax code more growth- friendly.

70% of children born into poverty will never make it to the middle class. The uncomfortable truth is that there are now a number of other countries with as much or more opportunity than ours. In fact, more people in Canada go on to surpass the income of their parents than in the United States.

We need to have a regulatory budget in America that limits the amount of regulations on our economy. We need to repeal and replace Obamacare and we need to improve higher education so that people can have access to the skills they need for 21st century jobs.

Everything that I will ever accomplish, I owe to God, to my parent’s sacrifices, and to the United States of America.

Every single one of us is the descendant of a go-getter. Of dreamers and of believers.

Hope and Change has become Divide and Conquer.

My Dad used to tell us: ‘En este pais, ustedes van a poder lograr todas las cosas que nosotros no pudimos’ ‘In this country, you will be able to accomplish all the things we never could.’

Any time you can degrade or take away the top leadership of an organization, it’s a positive step forward.

The most important institution in society is the family. If the family breaks down, society breaks down.

Donald Trump is not a Republican. Donald Trump is not a conservative. Donald Trump is trying to pull off the biggest scam in American political history, basically a con job, where he’s trying to take over the Republican Party by telling people he’s someone who he is not.

We’re special because dreams that are impossible anywhere else, come true here. That’s not just my story. That’s your story. That’s our story.

I’ll support Donald [Trump] if he’s the Republican nominee.

Let me just say the rules are what they are in the Republican Party. You have to have X-number of delegates in order to be the nominee. And if you don’t have those number of delegates, then there’s a process in place.Here is what would be a calamity, for Donald Trump to become our nominee.

The vast majority of the American people are hard-working taxpayers who take responsibility for their families, go to work every day, they pay their mortgage on time, they volunteer in the community.

I’m not going to change who I am. I’m not going to change why I’m running… I’m running for president [in 2016], and I’m running because we can’t afford another four years like the last eight years.

If I’d had fame early on, I’d have been able to abuse it in the way that a young man should.

You let things run in order to have some sanity and be able to do your work and not feel pre-judged.

To me, success is one’s ability to keep the faith, develop his God-given talents, and be able to honestly say at the close of life, “the world is a better place because I have lived.”

When I finished my A-levels, I assumed I’d be able to get work as an actor. But I couldn’t. I didn’t get an audition. Nothing. So I thought I’d better train and then the parts would come.

I had the privilege of being able to choose, or at least have the opportunity to work at, being anything but an actor.

There is always something about the villains that I’m able to play, quote unquote, that isn’t villainous.

You’ve got to really be able to accept the rejection.

At 15 I had moved out of my parents’ place, and my options were looking pretty narrow. But I had this acting thing and I just wanted to be able to keep going because it was really good. That was all I wanted.
