Foreigner Quotations

Pakistani politics is complicated, and I think it's not something a foreigner can easily assimilate and understand.

'Ouch' is not independent of social training. One has only to prick a foreigner to appreciate that it is an English word.

I have been a foreigner all my life, first as a daughter of diplomats, then as a political refugee and now as an immigrant in the U.S. I have had to leave everything behind and start anew several times, and I have lost most of my extended family.

It was really terrific but Foreigner was nothing like Yes and that style did not suit our music.

I'm very happy to be a foreigner in Japan, and I can't think of a more wonderful place to live, but at the same time, I would never want to be Japanese, because they are subject to stresses that I am not.

Japan functions on the basis of everyone sharing certain assumptions, where each person knows his part in a larger whole. The foreigner sits outside and is threatening. If he comes in, that's the most threatening of all.

Like every foreigner who commits a crime in Italy, she can go back to her country because the criminal process against her hasn't begun yet.

I don't know him. He was not at my home. No foreigner was at my home when the planes came and dropped bombs.

When we finish this tour we are going to begin writing and go into the studio to hopefully have a brand new Foreigner album out in early spring next year. This will be the first Foreigner album out in about ten years.

Paris is great. I stay at the Ritz Paris - I'm good friends with the Director, Frank Klein, and the owner. I lived there 3 years; I was the only foreigner working at Maxim's. They only took French, which was a mistake.

Some foreigner organizations said over 90 percent software used in China are pirated, but from the above analysis we can see this is not true in reality since the common software only accounts for one-third of China's software industry.

There are lots of issues that Asian Americans share, ... one being the immigrant experience, being relatively recent immigrant arrivals. And Asians also suffer from a perpetual- foreigner syndrome, meaning that you could be a fourth- or fifth-generation Asian American but still somehow it's difficult to believe that you're an American. I get that: First they compliment me on my ability to speak English, and often I get asked, 'Well, where are you from?' and for some reason people refuse to take Flushing for an answer.

The players have been unbelievable. I am a foreigner in their country, but everybody has been saying 'well done'. They know what it's like.

The strongest argument for the un-materialistic character of American life is the fact that we tolerate conditions that are, from a negative point of view, intolerable. What the foreigner finds most objectionable in American life is its lack of basic comfort. No nation with any sense of material well-being would endure the food we eat, the cramped apartments we live in, the noise, the traffic, the crowded subways and buses. American life, in large cities, is a perpetual assault on the senses and the nerves; it is out of asceticism, out of unworldliness, precisely, that we bear it.

It will be our first rock concert, and we're real excited. We think Foreigner represents the kind of entertainment that this venue can fit well. We offer a very intimate setting and the acoustics are excellent.

In these circumstances, it was left to me to consider whether the music that was FOREIGNER should be abandoned to history, leaving me to change direction and start a new venture, or whether it was something that I wanted to keep pursuing and enjoying. I'm happy to say that the vision of FOREIGNER as once more being a major force in Rock music prevailed, and I now am intent on making that happen.

The enthusiasm is incredible. Foreigner really is my legacy. It's the most successful thing I've done in my life. It's sort of my baby. I thought maybe I'd give it a shot, get a really great band together and see how it goes.

The film observes these people in the course of their daily routines, and hears the stories they tell about their past and present lives and their concerns for the future. The film is about the ways in which foreigner and Afghan warily co-exist in the city, each relying on the other, but neither sure of the other's intentions.
