I have become an American citizen, and I love this country. I think that this country has incredible potential for goodness, an incredible possibility for doing the wrong thing, too.

I'm a writer. In Latin America, they say I'm a Latin-American writer because I also write in Spanish and my books are translated, but I am an American citizen and my books are published here, so I'm also an American writer.

I am proud to be an American Citizen.

As an American citizen, one has to vote. If we don't vote, we're not doing our part. We'll become some sort of oligarchy.

I'm still a proud Irishman, of course, but I've become an American citizen. I'm very, very proud of that.

I could not become an American citizen. I would not like to become a citizen of a country that has capital punishment.
