I think the American people should express their preferences, and we’ll accept their choice.

In almost any country, probably in Russia in particular, it’s fashionable to criticise people in power. If you come out in support of someone like me, you’re going to be accused of trying to ingratiate yourself.

A happy love needs to be reciprocated.
