From her:
"I too have a certain idea of America.
Moreover, I would not feel entitled to say that of any other country, except my own.
This is not just sentiment, though I always feel ten years younger – despite the jet-lag – when I set foot
on American soil: there is something so positive, generous, and open about the people – and
everything actually works.
I also feel, though, that I have in a sense a share of America."
