I`ve lived in Europe for the better part of 12 years, and I`ve noticed that one of the big errors Europeans make is to dismiss America as having no culture. That`s an incredible mistake, and whether it`s born of arrogance or neurosis caused by the fact that America is perceived as hugely powerful, it`s wrong. For a century or two, a decent percentage of the major writers, poets, artists, musicians, painters, filmmakers, actors, screenwriters, and dancers have been born in the U.S. Americans have acquitted themselves pretty well in those areas. There`s a great culture there, an enormous culture. I just don`t plain like a lot of it, but it`s OK if other people like it. (Late 1990`s qoute)
