I grew up watching American films, listening to American music, and it's a big contribution to the rest of the world. I mean, American jazz, for me, is the best thing culturally that America has produced.

I think it's that thing of growing up all the time watching American movies and listening to American music. It hits you in a way that's a lot purer because you are not in that culture that you're watching.

I think America concedes that true American music has sprung from the Negro.

For me, personally, I grew up watching American heroes and American movies and TV.

I always thought those World War II films with German people speaking English with German accents was weird.

I don't think there is much American music.
