“I am tired with hyphenated Americans! We are not Indian-Americans, or African-Americans.”

The American dream means that you have the chance to work hard, get an education and do great things for yourself, for your kids.

Let’s say black, the whole black religious experience, here, is very impressive to me, because when I first arrived I realized that people carry their faith with so much pride.

Music is still part of my spiritual life. Sometimes I sing my prayers. When I get audiences singing, I hope I’m helping them feel connected to something beyond themselves.

We need a doer, not a talker.

I always wanted to do a baseball book; I love baseball. The problem is that a very large part of my following is in non-baseball playing countries.

I want to create a culture of life where every innocent human life is welcome to the world. I know those are difficult cases, but I am prolife. And I understand we’ve got to go through the Supreme Court.

My parents are proud of their Indian heritage, but they came halfway across the world so their children could be born here, raised here as Americans. They came legally, but they came here in search of the American dream, in search of freedom and opportunity.

Who among us would ask our children for a loan, so we could spend money we do not have on things we do not need?

Containment is a strategy for losers! But as General George S. Patton famously observed, Americans play to win all the time. Americans don’t play to lose.

I think we can have religious liberty without discrimination. My views on marriage aren’t evolving with the polls. It’s based on my faith, I think it should remain between a man and a woman.

I’m not worried about where Barack Obama is from. I’m worried about where he’s going.

It’s not controversial to say that human activity is contributing in some way. The question is how serious that is.

India, in particular, is looking to develop nuclear power for domestic, commercial use, and we should work with them. This is a good deal for both countries.

I think it’s offensive to equate evangelical Christians, Catholics, others that view marriage as between a man and a woman, as being racist.

The United States didn’t create religious liberty. Religious liberty created the United States of America. It’s the reason we are here today.

I remember when TV networks believed in the First Amendment. It is a messed up situation when Miley Cyrus gets a laugh, and Phil Robertson gets suspended.
