South America has virtually broken away in the last decade. That's an event of historic significance. South America just doesn't follow US orders. In fact there isn't a single US military base left there.

Noam Chomsky

It's bizarre to me that you can have political commentators, sports commentators, weather commentators, but with medicine, people go, "You can't do that."

Drew Pinsky

I still remember, I think it was with the third movie, when we went to Munich and the entire Olympic stadium was filled with fans, and just to walk in there and do nothing.

Robert Pattinson

If you really think about it, the stadium can't last forever. There is going to have to come a time when it replaces.

Cal Ripken, Jr.

In America, people think being South Asian is still kind of exotic. When you go outside New York and Chicago and L.A., there are people who have never tried Indian food... they've never even tasted it!

Aasif Mandvi

I don't think America needs 28,000 men on Okinawa. I don't think we need an army in Germany. What's it for, to protect Germans against the Russians, to protect the French against the Germans? It's just there by inertia, that's my reading of it. I don't think we need an army in South Korea because North Korea is absolutely no threat to South Korea.

Me and my cousin, most of the time we worked on radios and fixed them. I guess we started because I was curious to understand how radios work. When I was little, I used to think there were small people inside. Most of the time, I was just trying to see the people who are speaking in the radio.

The ability of Republican leaders to rile up their base - helped along by folks like Rush Limbaugh, some commentators on Fox News - I think created an environment in which Republican voters would punish Republicans for cooperating with me. That hothouse of back-and-forth argument and - and really sharp partisanship I think has been harmful to America.

Barack Obama

Playing in Wembley Stadium in front of 83-some-thousand fans to win a gold medal was unreal. I think, male or female, that was a record number.

Carli Lloyd

You don't have a lot of transplants in Baltimore. And I think that makes sports mean more to the people who live there. It translates to the passion of the fans and how the stadium reacts on Sunday.

Joe Flacco

I'd really like to visit India and South America. I think India will be a great mix of sightseeing and relaxing, and I've got a feeling it will also be good for one's soul and spirit. And I'd love to go backpacking around South America at some point. I did that in Australia when I was younger, and the camaraderie was great fun.

Emilia Fox

I don't think I understand the significance yet, as many Americans do, of being in Yankee Stadium. But it's a great place to play. Look around - the stadium is fantastic.

Jack Harrison

When we say Afro American, we include everyone in the Western Hemisphere of African descent. South America is America. Central America is America. South America has many people in it of African descent.

Malcolm X

I sometimes think about playing with my friends in our own little stadium in Bosingen, and about how I used to dream of fans cheering my name.

Joshua Kimmich

For everything I do, I think about a 6-year-old girl and her mom that I saw at my concert last night. I think about what those two individuals would think if I were at a club last night. I never want to be arrested, and I never want to get a DUI, those are my moral values.
